The members of the Healthy Crops Project met from May 3 to 5 for the projects Annual Meeting in beautiful Montpellier, in France.

The team of Bing Yang developed a high-efficient prime editing technique that enables to develop new strategies for broad-spectrum resistance to bacterial blight of rice.

HHU Team published a letter in New Phytologist: "An increasing number of countries regulate genome editing in crops"

The Healthy Crops consortium had their annual meeting for the first time in 2 years in presence in Duesseldorf in the beginning of April 2022.

The Frommer lab has openings for Humboldt Research Fellows at the postdoc level through a fast track program.

The conference will focus on genomics, diagnostics, epidemiology, virulence mechanism, plant defense, and disease control of members of the genus Xanthomonas and Xylella.

The Healthy Crops team wishes you all a happy and healthy New Year!

The consortium met online this year (unfortunately only again) to share the latest scientific progress and to discuss the future planning of the project.

In the review paper, "Options for tackling pathogen resistance by genome editing in rice," Prof. Frommer's team provides insights into the general problem of world hunger and details some tools that can be used to efficiently combat pathogen resistance. Just click here to get to the abstract.

The HHU group provided insights into their scientific work and careers to female school students.
