Next at #UKPB26, Defra’s Emma Phillimore presenting an update on the evolving EU regs for #PrecisionBreeding. Defra has been key to creating an enabling regulatory environment in England, and it’s great that this is continuing in concert with EU alignment.

Very proud of the Green Engineering @ukri.org BBSRC project team. It's great to see our pipeline of crops generated by #PrecisionBreeding being tested in the field.
A major milestone for UK gene editing 🧬🌱
We have drilled the first UK crop to receive a PBO Release Notice under the new regulatory framework. Scientists are exploring ways to increase seed size, yield and oil content in camelina👇
