A goldenberry (Physalis) with agronomic traits improved by gene editing! At least here in Finland, these delicious and healthful berries are pricey, so easier production would be welcome. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Gene Editing, naturally! Glad to share the results of our survey of consumers and farmers in Finland regarding their views of Gene Editing. The concept of "naturalness" turned out to be important. #geneediting #biotechnology #genomics link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Europe cannot afford to fall behind on innovation! We join 25 EU agri-food organizations urging policymakers to conclude #NGTs trilogue talks now. Science-based rules = resilient crops & global competitiveness. Act today! 🌱 euroseeds.eu/app/uploads/...

💡 EPSO welcomes the provisional agreement reached by the Trilogue on the legislative proposal for regulation of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) in plants. EPSO offers to contribute on a scientific basis. 🌱 #PlantScience #Biodiversity #Food2030EU #Bioeconomy #LifeSciences 👉 bit.ly/48Mds37

A paper in Nature Communications describes a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects. The design enables tasks such as retrieving objects beyond normal reach and performing multi-object handling. go.nature.com/3NTbMh7 🧪

Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for...

This study examines the notions of ‘naturalness’ in Finnish citizen-consumers’ and farmers’ perspectives, through ten focus group discussions, on genetic modification (GM) and new genomic techniques (...
