Last day of the Keystone Symposium “Genetic Engineering for a Sustainable Future” I am honored to have chaired with my amazing co-chairs @markblenner.bsky.social and @jennymortimer1.bsky.social An amazing time & meaningful science in Keystone, CO! #kssustainfuture25

Going for green: Biology for planetary sustainability - PLOS Collections Our green planet is beginning to show a lot of signs of decay triggered by the demands of our modern lifestyle and constantly growing population numbers. It is our responsibility to try to balance the...

At #KSSustainFuture25 session on waste upcycling, bioremediation, biomanufacturing, biodegradation

@plosbiology.org recently published a relevant focus issue exploring biological solutions to reduce CO2 emissions, get rid of plastics, produce food sustainably & generate energy plos.io/3MiXJyW

Excellent piece from Giles Oldroyd outlining steps to use beneficial #microbial association with #plants to achieve #sustainable #agriculture ⬇️

He thinks that in 5yrs crops improved through breeding & engineering of mycorrhizae associations could be in ag use

Dancing to a different tune, can we switch from chemical to biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable food security? To achieve sustainable crop production, we need to reduce our dependency on chemical nitrogen fertilizers. This Unsolved Mystery looks at whether it is possible to engineer plants to biologically fix ...

Day 2 starts with Giles Oldroyd

He led an insightful @plosbiology.org Unsolved Mystery discussing what would be needed switch to biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable food security. plos.io/42fOFAk

Now he is describing his lab's work to achieve it

Policy makers, genetic engineers, and an engaged public can work together to create climate-resilient plants As climate change affects weather patterns and soil health, agricultural productivity could decrease substantially. This Perspective argues that synthetic biology could be used to enhance climate resi...

Now @jennbrophy.bsky.social talks about precise genetic engineering for next generation crops and the difficulty of translating Arabidopsis findings to crop species.

Jenn wrote a thought-provoking Perspective for @plosbiology.org -take a 👀 plos.io/3Dbov6z

Directed evolution of a plant immune receptor for broad spectrum recognition of pathogen effectors Rapid development of immune receptors that protect crops from emerging pathogens is a paramount goal. We applied high throughput directed evolution to the ligand binding domain of the rice immune rece...

The final session today is opened by @pcronald.bsky.social talking about plant disease resistance alleles & a cool directed evolution approach to engineer broad-spectrum pathogen resistance receptors using #riceblast as a model
