The agricultural landscape is rapidly evolving, and to stay ahead, the European Union must embrace innovation in #plantbreeding. New genomic techniques (#NGTs) offer immense potential to revolutionize crop development, leading to improved resilience to climate change, higher yields and enhanced nutritional profiles. By adopting these cutting-edge technologies, the EU can bolster the competitiveness of its agriculture sector on the global stage. Increased productivity and sustainability will not only benefit farmers but also contribute to food security and economic growth.

How can we unleash synthetic biology's true potential whilst balancing the risks of releasing genetically engineered microbes into the wild? I'm excited that we're having this important conversation at #SynBioBeta2024, and that Bentley Shuster from ZBiotics is going to be talking more about it: https://lnkd.in/gnsbGTSg

PIC is seeking answers on genetics' environmental impacts through game-changing LCAs! Did you know healthier animals mitigate emissions before they occur? PIC's ISO-approved LCA revealed a 7.5% GHG reduction compared to North American industry average. They're also quantifying impact of PRRS resistance through gene editing as improved efficiency is key to sustainability 🧬 Validation is crucial as carbon markets mature. Only fully defensible data will cut through potential "greenwashing" claims 🧐 Find out how genetic tools could serve as a roadmap for innovation.   Read more on our websites:   English: https://lnkd.in/e6f-4d5D Español: https://lnkd.in/eZjKfYvq Deutsch: https://lnkd.in/eMFpNYbM   #PICGenetics #Pig #Swine #PorkProduction #PigProduction #Sustainability #Carbon

🔔 🔔 🔔 Nice to see our recent product citation (Antibodies.com A85271) in Nature Communications, 2024 🔔 🔔 🔔 Synthetic biology holds immense promise to tackle key problems in resource use, environmental remediation, and human health care. However, comprehensive safety measures are lacking to employ engineered microorganisms in open-environment applications. Genetically encoded biocontainment systems may solve this issue.

💡Amrit Kaur Nanda Nanda, Executive Manager of Plants for the Future, gave an overview of the GeneBEcon project, which delves into the vast potential of gene editing to pave the way for a sustainable bioeconomy. 🚀By harnessing the power of this innovative technology in potato and microalgae, we are striving towards energy-efficient, low-input, and zero-pollution agricultural practices and industrial processing🔁🟢. 🌱🧬👥GeneBEcon aims to advance research and innovation through new gene editing developments at the technological level, as well as considering social, economic, and regulatory dimensions. ℹ️ genebecon.eu #GeneBEconSymposium  #NGTs #geneediting #plantbreeding #sustainableagriculture #EUGreenDeal #EUFarm2Fork #research #innovation

Giving the Cells What They Need When They Need It: Biosensor-Based Feeding Control “Giving the cells exactly what they need, when they need it” is the core idea behind the proposed bioprocess control strategy: operating bioprocess based on the physiological behavior of the microbial population rather than exclusive monitoring of environmental parameters. We are envisioning to achieve this through the use of genetically encoded biosensors combined with online flow cytometry (FCM) to obtain a time-dependent “physiological fingerprint” of the population. We developed a biosensor based on the glnA promoter (glnAp) and applied it for monitoring the nitrogen-related nutritional state of Escherichia coli. The functionality of the biosensor was demonstrated through multiple cultivation runs performed at various scales—from microplate to 20 L bioreactor. https://lnkd.in/gkq4_b7A #aspenalert #biotech #bioprocess

Definitions: Microcosm, Hybridisation, Bioremediation, Rhizosecretion Microcosms are artificial, simplified ecosystems that are used to simulate and predict the behaviour of natural ecosystems under controlled conditions. ... A Winogradsky column is an example of a microbial microcosm. Hybridization is the process of interbreeding individuals from genetically distinct populations to produce a hybrid. A genetic hybrid would therefore carry two different alleles of the same gene. Bioremediation is a process used to treat contaminated media, including water, soil and subsurface material, by altering environmental conditions to stimulate growth of microorganisms and degrade the target pollutants. Rhizosecretion is an attractive technology for the production of recombinant proteins from transgenic plants. Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/depreq22 #nikolaysgeneticslessons
