It was an honor to co-author this state-of-the-art article with this bunch of cryo specialists. Also note the fantastic artwork of Manuela!

[Manuela Nagel @Manu81528677]

We are thrilled to share our brandnew article on the principles, applications, and challenges of plant cryopreservation.
Enjoy the recent article in Annual Review on Plant Biology https://t.co/ND28CaqYeK

🍌Thanks to collaboration with the Belgian government and @KU_Leuven's Tropical Crop Improvement Lab, our team conserves >1,700 banana varieties to improve nutrition & livelihoods worldwide.🙏We're honored to welcome Minister @carogennez & Mayor @MohamedRidouani to our gene bank!

[Juan Lucas Restrepo @jlucasrestrepo]

This is how we distribute healthy 🍌 plants around the world for research and for use by farming communities. Beautiful and impactful work of @BiovIntCIAT_eng from our In-Trust banana collection held at @KU_Leuven. @CGIAR

[MGIS @RuasMax]

It was with great😢that we learned that E. De Langhe passed away. MGIS owes great deal to his INIBAP presidency, He actively supported H. Tézenas Du Montcel's idea for developing a network and DB on 🍌Genetic Resources. @MusaDiversity @promusa_banana @AgroBioDiverse @musalac
