Instanz: TeilenTeilen:Plant scientist explains the impact of the EU’s new gene-editing rulesRimma Gerenstein Hochschul- und WissenschaftskommunikationAlbert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau23.07.2026 15:50The EU has recently adopted new regulations for gene-edited plants.
Kleine-Vehn: A single tiny change to a plant’s genome can already affect whether it copes better with drought, resists disease, or flowers earlier than its sibling.
The difference with genome editing is not the kind of change that is made, but how it is introduced.
This is the scientific basis for treating verified NGT-1 plants as comparable to conventionally bred plants.
The research programme builds on the collaborative interdisciplinary spirit and commitment of the CIBSS research community in advancing integrative biological signalling studies.
