Raleigh, NC, USA
In 2022, we explored novel strategies and developments in plant genomics and gene editing through a series of case studies and an examination of the latest scientific research. Leaders from academia and industry considered key developments in gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN and discussed their application in improving disease resistance, stress tolerance and crop yield. The development of AI and machine learning was also explored.
