Gene editing technology is different to genetic modification. If you have been interested to understand how scientists are developing the next generation of crop varieties with this technology.

This technology is revolutionary and was awarded a Nobel prize in 2020. Dr Han is adopting this technology for crop genetic improvements, that will influence yield, quality and many other agronomist traits.
