Following last year´s success, we now continue with the PlantEd online lecture series on genome editing in plants with high-profile speakers. The series is organised by PlantEd WG1 leaders Dr Goetz Hensel (henselg@hhu.de) and Dr Katrijn Van Laere (katrijn.vanlaere@ilvo.vlaanderen.be) and will continue regularly until the summer. It will be organised via Zoom. A separate announcement will be sent out to the PlantEd network before each event and also updated here on the website.
Here you can read about the 2022 online lectures.
