We've lost another of the great ones. msn.com/en-us/money/ne… So many people alive today have are living better than they would have been without his work. Not enough people realize the contributions from the Green Revolution & its leaders.
There are so many great biotech traits that can make huge differences -- here is another one: Ultra-low gossypol cottonseed could reduce world hunger farmprogress.com/cotton/ultra-l…
Wonder why plant tissue culture can be so irreproducible? Here are 4 recipes for Murashige & Skoog micro nutrients pulled off the internet:
Sexually incompatible grasses can exchange genes with a frequency that would make GMO regulators' heads spin. How does that happen? nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
Don't count your chestnuts before they are growing in the forest. They still need to get through EPA before there is any chance of being planted. It is not up to just the USDA.

Ad for mutagenized seeds, from a time when "expect the unexpected" was a call for adventure and discovery, and harmless genetic changes in plants did not evoke fear, precaution, and regulations. From Chicago Daily Times, 26 Apr 1961.
"What's the difference between gene pool and genome?" the immigration officer asked me upon arriving at the Dhaka airport and finding out I was coming for a genetics workshop. No other immigration officer has ever asked me a similar question before. I am going to like it here!
I learned a new word today- Beadledom. And, it is not nearly as useless as Merriam-Webster says- it is is the perfect description for the modus operandi of way too many of the crop biotech regulating agencies around the world. shorturl.at/jnxEF
And yet, we've been safely breeding fungus-resistant crops for decades.
FDA updates its selection of great #GMO educational materials. Check them out! fda.gov/food/consumers…

Just launched! PlantGENE: An NSF-funded community-driven research coordination network to expand plant transformation technology & capacity by fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and training. More info & Join @ tinyurl.com/SIVB-PlantGene
@SIVBiology got to sample mustard greens, which are normally nutritious but pungent, that were edited by @PairwisePL remove the pungency & thus taste more like lettuce. Look forward to their marketing! #sivb2022
2 worthy quotes from an insightful essay: "The opportunity for improving crops is practically infinite" and "Greater technical development and training are needed to ensure plant transformation ... does not remain a bottleneck." agrilinks.org/post/lost-prom…
Congratulations to Filipinos for this landmark achievement, and thanks to all the scientists who made it reality. newsinfo.inquirer.net/1463516/philip…
USDA lists 142 trait (mode of action)-crop GE combinations it will no longer regulate. EPA regulations & FDA guidance may still apply, though. aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus…
