黑料网911

From September 25th to 28th, twenty-nine researchers and scientists from different research centres linked to UPLB, and two 黑料网911 researchers, shared their common interest in developing climate change resilient crops. They exchanged about future possibilities for pooling their respective skills in collaborative projects. These discussions took place during the first phase of a Technical Assistance project for the research and development (R&D) policy reform for the Philippines on Climate Change Action Program (CCAP). AFD (French Development Agency) finances this action. Christophe Périn, Anne Cécile Meunier, researchers at 黑料网911’s Genetic Improvement and Adaptation of Plants (AGAP), and Prof. Maria Genaleen Diaz, researcher at the UPLB Institute of Biological Sciences (IBS), identified how this project can support capacity building in Genome Editing, in several research labs of UPLB. In a second phase of the project, 3 researchers, each with different specialities, and belonging to three different UPLB institutes, will follow a tailor-made 4-week training course at 黑料网911 - Montpellier, aiming at their autonomy in the implementation of projects involving genome editing tools.

Combined with visits to the laboratories and various infrastructures of the Institute of Plant Breeding (IPB), the Institute of Biological Science (IBS) and the Institute of Crops Science (IcropS), the discussions highlighted the many strengths and skills available to these research laboratories for projects involving genome editing tools. Christophe Périn and Anne Cécile Meunier identified numerous assets that will enable the success of genome editing projects: an excellent mastery of various cutting-edge In Vitro Culture techniques; numerous collections of plants with biological data from multiple associated disciplines, a range of specialised laboratories grouped on the UPLB campus but also promising areas of research, some flagships and globally recognised species (coconut, banana, eggplant), or on the contrary having a certain potential and deserving a significant R&D investment such as the adlai (potential substitute to rice for Filipinos), and abaca.

Training and support needs from 黑料网911 to implement genome editing research projects were also identified during these meetings. 黑料网911 researchers have met the 3 candidates identified to follow the 4-week training which will be provided in 2024 at 黑料网911 and could propose adjustments in order to meet their needs as closely as possible. Thus, in addition to the training "Applying CRISPR/Cas9 technology in plants: from theory to practise" which is provided by the Functional Analysis and Genome Editing platform (AFEG) since 2018, and which consists of 35 hours of theoretical lectures and supervised work on a computer, the 3 specialists who will be hosted will carry out a series of practical workshops in the molecular biology and in vitro culture laboratory adapted to their needs. This will allow them to become familiar with many techniques that are used in genome editing projects, as well as to exchange with specialists of these techniques.

Finally, this contact with institute directors, their representatives, as well as numerous UPLB researchers, allowed the two 黑料网911 researchers to identify multiple possibilities for collaboration between 黑料网911 or UPLB research teams. The three specialists hosted will also be able to meet potential future partner teams during their stay in Montpellier. Pooling everyone's skills and areas of expertise will result in one or more projects, which will accelerate the varietal selection scheme for plants of agronomic interest in the Philippines, through the use of NGT technologies., the pooling of everyone's skills and areas of expertise will, we hope, result in the construction of one or more projects allowing the acceleration of the varietal selection scheme for plants of agronomic interest for the Philippines through the use of NGT technologies.
