#geneedited — Public Fediverse posts

How #geneedited plants may be regulated is critical to democratize the use of #CRISPR & related technologies. Rules must be science-based, transparent & predictable to facilitate #plantbreeding for biotic & abiotic stress tolerance, better #nutrition & agronomics, etc.: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-024-02489-5

1/5 Researchers in Italy conducted the country's first field trial with #GeneEdited plants. "Activists" have now destroyed the field and plants. These plants - were gene-edited (NOT transgenic) - require less fungicide application, & are thus better for the environment. #PlantScience #PlantGMOs

#Doctors are exploring how to use #animal #organs but keep them outside #people's #bodies.

@peterbrown that has been true since start of devolution, but your relief (and mine) at our #GMfree status in #Scotland may be about to end. Current plans by Westminster government to deregulate new #GeneEdited crops and food will mean that Scottish government will be powerless to prevent their cultivation and sale here, courtesy of the #postBrexit #UK single market Act …a device largely designed to emasculate our devolved powers on a wide front.

@timsmalley @ClaireCopperman @MadeyeTheCarnaptious they can use the Internal Market Bill to block any proposed devolved divergence from UK where it has the least connection with trade or the so called 🇬🇧 ‘single market’ …and they will. The issue of #GMO & #GeneEdited crops and food is a good case in point.

Such a glaring irony when you look at how the #NIprotocol leaves #NI free to diverge to keep alignment with #EU. …except it’s more than irony, it’s an outrage.
