https://t.co/kOUBc15Cdq Please register to join this webinar on the 24th Nov to hear about research recently published in @PlantBiotechJ by @ecahoon2 and colleagues at @UNLincoln

We welcome the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023 coming into force in England today, a landmark moment for British science! Full story 👉 https://t.co/SztvK77OUp

https://t.co/SAFHD1fxO9 A surprising diversion for me - something that isn't about omega-3s. But a really interesting and genuinely puzzling excursion into Arabidopsis forward genetics and promoter-reporter regulation. Credit to Michaela Matthes for driving this project.

NGOs' fundraising strategies are built on alarmist claims of ecological collapse due to intensive farming. But the scientific evidence increasingly refutes their fearmongering. Total bird & insect numbers in Britain have been stable for the past 30 years. https://t.co/AlEu5JEpVa

Policymakers, scientists and industry leaders will gather for the 30:50:50 Agri-Science Summit to hear policy blueprint to harness science and innovation to produce 'more from less' - 30% more food while halving farming’s environmental footprint by 2050. https://t.co/kjegP5S7ap

Thank you Bio-Waste Spreader in @PrivateEyeNews for pointing @DefraGovUK ministers to the new @SciSustAg UK food security report and its central message that we urgently need to raise farm-level productivity, harnessing the latest advances in agricultural science and innovation.

Innovations to help UK farmers produce 'more from less' are being held back by red tape, an @appg_agscience stakeholder meeting has heard - part of the group’s 30:50:50 initiative to produce 30% more food with a 50% lower environmental footprint by 2050. https://t.co/mu6tB9AlSs

The Plant Biotechnology Journal was sad to see the passing of Andrew Hanson - Andrew was an outstanding mentor to the plant biotech community. Recently, we discussed how to curtail overclaiming in papers - this will be something taken forward at PBJ. https://t.co/ZF605X3mpW

Great to see this important advance published in PBJ. As well as being highly ranked, our journal is focused on translation and application - how can science help deliver useful solutions for global challenges. Here's an example. https://t.co/8xmjFHEwz2.

Do not miss this!

PBJ was very happy to provide support for the Plastid Preview 2025 meeting at the University of Essex - we sponsored the Poster Session. Part of PBJ's mission is to contribute to scientific community-building and events like this are part of this activity.

This is the paper that is featured on the cover of the current issue of PBJ. Like all our content it's Open Access. We chose this paper for the cover because it epitomises the translational focus of our journal - from gene to field. https://t.co/DeCFjlMQDy

And we are back! After a brief interlude, PBJ is back on X to bring you updates on all the exciting research we are publishing in our journal. PBJ is co-owned by @SEBiology and @AnnalsApplBio and published by @WileyGlobal

Great to see our collaboration with @ecahoon2 and colleagues from UNL on the front cover of @PlantBiotechJ, highlighting our project making a new sustainable source of astaxanthin. Harnessing the power of plant metabolism to make useful compounds.

I should add that it is being hosted by @PlantTeaching and the whole topic was developed and organised by @ADHansonLab. Big credit to Andrew for addressing this very important issue in a positive and collegiate manner.

https://t.co/NY3kB8LKDK Please join me and the rest of this great panel, discussing how we as a community should not oversell research outputs whilst at the same time demonstrating societal relevance. Lots to cover!

Pleased to be attending the annual #SEBCONFERENCE here in Antwerp (in the zoo - great venue!). @PlantBiotechJ is sponsoring a number of sessions including P9-Engineering strategies for achieving SDGs, focusing on translation & field trials.

Pleased to have contributed to one of the articles in this special issue. There's lots of thought-provoking ideas in this volume.

Important update on the exploitation of our omega-3 technology - really pleased to now be working with @NuseedGlobal to help deliver additional new sources of plant-derived EPA+DHA in camelina. https://t.co/WGAsAaBnW9

Yet more coverage of our astaxanthin project with @ecahoon2 at @UNL_PSI. Engineering Biology with a purpose.
