🎬Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 5:18 Nick Vangheluwe: History of plant breeding and the potential of new innovations 19:42 Juriaan Rienstra: History of plant domestication and use cases of precision breeding 32:51 Savio Rodrigues: Agrobacterium - Nature's Genetic Engineer 42:19 Q&A =============================== What is this webinar about? Did you know that plant domestication started some 10.000 years ago by farmers who selected the best performing plants in a field with desired traits like larger fruits, non-shattering seeds and early flowering? These farmers were unknowingly selecting plants with desired DNA alterations, changes in the genetic blueprint of plants that occurred spontaneously. With an increased understanding of plant biology and genetics, plant breeders have constantly improved their breeding tools to include a wide variety of breeding methods. Gene-editing is the most recent addition to the breeders’ toolbox: we now have a method to introduce a desired DNA alteration that specifies a certain characteristic of the plant. In this interactive webinar, we will dive deeper into the history of plant breeding, we will make a tour through recent discoveries of horizontal gene transfer in plants, and we will elaborate on recent developments and potential applications of gene-editing for crop improvement. Speakers: Nick Vangheluwe, Juriaan Rienstra and Savio Rodrigues Moderator: Svenja Augustin from Öko-Progressives Netzwerk Organized by GeneSprout Initiative Hosted by @Plantae and @ASPB ORG =============================== More information: 🌎 - WEBSITE: https://www.genesproutinitiative.com/ 📸 - INSTAGRAM:   / genesproutbelgium   &   / genesproutinitiative   👥 - FACEBOOK:   / genesproutinitiative   🐦 - TWITTER:   / genesproutbe   &   / genesprout
