CRISPR can precisely edit a plant genome. But that may be the easy part. 🧬🌱 Will it actually change agriculture — and who will be able to benefit from it? That depends on much more than molecular precision. @cibss.bsky.social @uni-freiburg.de @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social

CRISPR is widely celebrated as a precise molecular tool in medicine — yet remains controversial in plant breeding, particularly in Europe. 🌱🧬 A striking example of why technologies are judged by much more than what they can do molecularly. Curious? Read, comment and/or share our Correspondence!
