Live in the Lab: Genome Editing as a New Tool for Plant Breeding
Fig. 1: At the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI), Federal Research Center for Cultivated Plants in Quedlinburg, some researchers are trying to change the DNA of cultivated plants such as soy bean via genome editing in order to scientifically investigate the "new breeding technique" and potential risks.
