What are the technologies used to engineer plants?
Plants do not need to be solely bio-engineered or genetically modified. Genetic modificationis only a tool. You need gene technology as a tool and maybe the outcome is a gene-modified crop, but not necessarily. Our platform is not only about using gene-modification -this is only one of the tools available. The platform is about understanding better what the trigger to improve the input-output ratio should be, for example.Perhaps in the future, breeders can use this knowledge togrow better plants.At present,we are not surewhatthe biochemicaltriggers areto produce more sugar, for example. Some biochemical pathways are known, but how to trigger growthis not yet fully understood. To improve this knowledge will have a very big impact to future societies. Is it a challenge to convince and reassure society of the benefits of these new technologies,? Peoplebelieve, for example, thatorganisationssuch asGreenpeace are giving them good advice. However, for me, it is very easy to understand. If pe
