Fun #FridayFact! 🎉 Soil compaction is a growing problem for crops… but plants have a trick! 🌱🟫🌾 When soil gets too hard, roots rebuild themselves (softer inside, tougher outside) turning into a tiny biological wedge that pushes through compact ground. A new study shows

Finally! At least a long-awaited compromise has been found, 👏 to EP Rapporteur @jessicapolfjard & @eu2025dk ➡️ we hope that it will effectively allow the EU seed sector to develop new varieties that meet growers' needs! Let now analyse the details of this agreement 🌱

Climate change, new pests and rising food demand will not wait. NGTs can deliver resilient and sustainable plant varieties, if Europe provides a practical, science-based framework. We join the agri-food chain in calling on policymakers: finalise NGT rules now! ℹ️📄

New research reveals how Phytophthora infestans cuts off plants’ “alarm system” using AA7 enzymes — and that disabling these genes stops infection. A major step toward more resilient crops. 🌱 #PlantScience #AgInnovation #FoodSecurity

🌱 Europe’s agri-food chain calls for swift adoption of NGT rules! Trilogue talks are ongoing, but additional requirements could slow innovation. NGTs help deliver resilient, competitive crops already used in 3⃣0⃣➕countries worldwide. ✅ Drop extra bureaucracy ✅ Support

Fun #FridayFact! 🎉 🌾 You could say this new grass discovery is really growing on us… In Kazakhstan’s steppes, scientists found feathergrasses that didn’t match any known species. DNA tests revealed why: they were direct hybrids of Stipa arabica and Stipa richteriana. The

🧬 Current regulations are slowing down the development of NGTs in Europe. This must change, because #NGTs are an important tool for coping with #climatechange, says Euroseeds Manager Plant Breeding Innovation Advocacy Petra Jorasch (PhD) @PJorasch . ℹ️ https://t.co/rGWF2iccdX
