Natural GM crops: #grasses take evolutionary shortcut by transferring #genes from their neighbours the same way #GMO crops are made, i.e. in the near future, genetic modification could be perceived as more of a natural process: sheffield.ac.uk/news/natural… #natural #plantbreeding

Leave 👏 the 👏 leaves 👏 It’s that time of year when you’re itching to grab your rake and start making piles. But there’s good evidence to leave the leaves. Not only do they release nutrients into the grass as they break down, but they’re also a wildlife habitat and buffet.

That is a very high number of invaded natural areas! We developed “A data driven method for prioritizing invasive species to aid policy & management” in New York State. I wonder if a similar work might exist or be helpful in India… ? link.springer.com/article/10…

There aren't enough seeds to keep up with the large-scale reforestation needed to restore our damaged forests. But by expanding our workforce and increasing seed collection, we have the opportunity to reverse this trend. #SeedSeptember bit.ly/3WKUnaW

I am thrilled to report a cool method for transgene-free plant genome editing in the T0 generation led by Drs. Xiaoen Huang and Hongge Jia. It is particularly useful for transgene-free genome editing of vegetatively propagated and perennial plant species. nature.com/articles/s41477-0….
