🌍 Addressing the Global Hunger Crisis 🌱 With over 150 Nobel and World Food Prize Laureates raising the alarm on escalating hunger, it’s clear that innovative solutions are urgently needed. At Computomics, we’re proud to contribute through Climate-Smart Breeding. Our AI-driven solutions empower breeders to develop resilient, high-yield crops tailored to thrive in changing environments. 🌾 By combining cutting-edge genomics and predictive modeling, we accelerate progress toward sustainable agriculture—ensuring food security for communities worldwide. It’s time to act together, leveraging science and innovation to combat hunger and climate challenges.

“So the technology we've developed is based on CRISPR/Cas, but we added another function to it […] It gives you a lot of flexibility, a lot of opportunities to alter genes, in a way that is much more precise and specific. And also you can use sequences that you insert in the genome that come from the own genome of the plant. That's what we call cisgenesis. […] You have the option of using the plant's own material to modify its genes.” 🧬 Alain Tissier, head of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry, talks about his research on the molecular mechanisms in plants and his work in metabolic engineering and genome editing. Hear about project INNO-TOM, which uses pangenomes to breed disease-resistant and nutrient-enriched tomatoes 🍅 Listen to our new episode 🎧 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebxVTNpm #Podcast #Crispr #PlantBreeding #GenomeEditing #MetabolicEngineering #DiseaseResistance #InnoTom

🌱 Under Pressure: Breeding Resilience for All Seasons 🌾 Climate change and environmental stresses are challenging agriculture like never before. How can we ensure crop resilience in the face of biotic and abiotic stressors? In our latest blog post, we give an overview of plant stressors and the ways breeders can manage them to create crops that thrive even under pressure. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ec-3DC9r #Agriculture #PlantBreeding #Sustainability #AI #ClimateResilience

🌱 Exciting Advances in Tomato Breeding with Project INNO-TOM 🍅 We're thrilled to share that Computomics is part of the consortium working on the groundbreaking INNO-TOM project, funded by Germany's BMBF. This initiative aims to develop innovative tomato varieties that are both disease-resistant and nutrient-enriched. Key Goals: ✅ Resistance to bacterial spot and Tobamoviruses ✅ Biofortified tomatoes with anthocyanins for health benefits ✅ Extended shelf life, reducing food waste At Computomics, our AI-powered gene regulation models and pangenome expertise will accelerate the development of these future-ready crops.

“So in INNO-TOM, we're working on tomato. And one of the goals of the project is to modify a gene for resistance to a virus. Okay. So in plant breeding, you often cross related wild species into the cultivated species. Why? Because those related wild species, for example, have genes that confer resistance to pathogens that the cultivated species does not have.” Alain Tissier, head of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry, talks about his research on the molecular mechanisms in plants and his work in metabolic engineering and genome editing.

“So the ability to introduce, for example, disease resistance genes, at a specific location and also in I would say in a non-transgenic way or cisgenic way, this will allow first of all to speed up the breeding process, but also since hopefully in Europe, you won't have to deregulate because they're not transgenic to deregulate them also this creates opportunities to bring them faster to the market and also to make them more acceptable.” Welcome to our new episode with Alain Tissier, head of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry. Hear about his research on the molecular mechanisms in plants and his work in metabolic engineering and genome editing, particularly using a novel CRISPR-based technology to introduce specific genetic changes in plants 🧬🌱 Listen in 🎧 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebxVTNpm #Podcast #Crispr #PlantBreeding #GenomeEditing #MetabolicEngineering #DiseaseResistance
