'Revolutionary' gene editing of plants will change agriculture forever
Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a new method of genetic modification of plants that could revolutionize agricultural crop improvement. The method allows for targeted changes to improve properties such as higher yields and resistance to drought and pests. The technology has already been successfully applied to rice and tomato plants. The researchers were assisted by scientists from France, Denmark, and Switzerland. Their findings were published in the journal Nature Plants. TAUs technology commercialization company, Ramot, in collaboration with the AgChimedes group, has established the DisTree company to apply the new technology to a variety of crops.

בעזרת הקריספר: השיטה שחושפת את התפקיד של מרבית הגנים בצמח
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a technology that reveals the role of most genes in plants. The development is expected to revolutionize the improvement processes of agricultural crops, including directed changes that will improve features such as increasing yields or resistance to drought and pests. The research was conducted using the innovative CRISPR technology for gene editing. The researchers believe that this is the future of agriculture: controlled and directed crop improvement that operates on a large scale. To this end, Ramot at Tel Aviv University, in partnership with the AgChimedes Group, has established a company called DisTree.
