Sustainable tomato protection and the power of the microbiome
In his new thesis, Daniele Nicotra has uncovered mechanisms driving complex interactions within the plant microbiome. The goal is to develop new bioinoculants as sustainable alternatives to chemical
New doctoral thesis shows that rapeseed proteins can be made available for food using gene editing
In a new doctoral thesis, Oliver Moss shows how he has successfully reduced the levels of glucosinolates, sinapine, and phytic acid in rapeseed lines. This breakthrough paves the way for using
