Revolutionizing Agriculture: International Conference on Gene Editing in Plants Takes Center Stage in Vietnam

On April 11 and 12, a biotechnology conference was held in Vietnam that brought together leading scholars, experts, and researchers in plant breeding and biotechnology. The largest international event on gene editing in plants, it aimed to update attendees on the latest scientific breakthroughs in gene editing technology for crops.

The conference was hosted at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) in Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh. Professor David Jackson, the head of the Organizing Committee from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Research Institute (USA), highlighted the importance of the conference in providing sustainable solutions to improve productivity, ensure food security, and promote environmental sustainability through gene editing.

International experts shared their research on the potential of genome editing in plants and the practical applications of the technology in agriculture. From enhancing crop quality and resistance to environmental conditions to improving yield and nutritional content, gene editing technology offers a promising future for sustainable agriculture. The event also discussed legal regulations and approaches to managing gene-edited crops worldwide, with a focus on advancements made in countries like the US, Australia, and Asia.

One of the breakthrough technologies discussed at the conference was CRISPR genome editing. This tool has shown significant promise in developing crop varieties with high nutritional content, yield, and climate resistance. As countries around the world work to establish legal frameworks for gene-edited crops, this rapidly evolving field of biotechnology provided a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences.

Overall, this conference represented an exciting opportunity for researchers from all over the world to come together and share their latest findings on crop gene editing technology. The discussions that took place will undoubtedly contribute to further advancements in this field that can benefit millions of people around
