Turbo Charging Nature? The political myth behind gene-editing ‘speed’ claims A new report explores how the UK’s rush to deregulate gene editing rests on a myth of speed. Drawing on five case studies, it shows that “fast science” has delivered slow results and obscured deeper q...

New #GMO myth busted 💥
A new report finds #geneedited crops in the UK have failed to deliver on speed – the very promise used to push deregulation. In fact, conventional breeding often got there faster.

A technical approach to global plant genome editing regulation - Nature Biotechnology The Innovate Genomics Institute brought together regulators from 16 countries to discuss global capacity building for the regulation of genome-edited crops. The workshop provided insights into the sui...

How #geneedited plants may be regulated is critical to democratize the use of #CRISPR & related technologies. Rules must be science-based, transparent & predictable to facilitate #plantbreeding for biotic & abiotic stress tolerance, better #nutrition & agronomics, etc.: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

I saw this today on tiktok and was horrified.
Is this true that #GeneEdited food will go unlabelled?
This is morally wrong.

Landmark gene-edited rice crop destroyed in Italy Vandals uprooted the fungus-resistant Arborio rice, which was being tested in the country’s first ever field trial of a CRISPR-edited crop

1/5 Researchers in Italy conducted the country's first field trial with #GeneEdited plants. "Activists" have now destroyed the field and plants.

These plants
- were gene-edited (NOT transgenic)
- require less fungicide application, & are thus better for the environment.

“Adapt or Die” | Ambrook Research In the face of repeated, record-breaking dry seasons, farmers are exploring more drought-resistant crops, while researchers scramble to edit their genes.

My latest article for Ambrook Research examines the rise of #droughtresistant crops, both natural and #geneedited, in American farms. ambrook.com/research/cro...
