Why regulations in plant gene editing are a must

While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasizes the importance of clear regulations to ensure that new technologies are used safely and responsibly.

Ethics in Plant Sciences Research

Introduction In an era of tremendous progress in plant science, ethical questions have become critical. From genetic changes to biotechnological interventions, researchers’ ever-increasing capabilities make it necessary to consider the ethical consequences of their work. Plant ethics is concerned with the moral relevance of plants beyond their utility to humans, calling for a more… Source

New Research Highlights Importance of Clear Regulations in Agricultural Gene Editing

A recent paper from the University of Adelaide is drawing attention to the crucial role of regulatory frameworks in agricultural gene editing. While some scientists argue that current regulations are overly restrictive, the authors emphasize the need for clear guidelines to ensure these emerging technologies are applied safely and responsibly. The paper, published in The Plant Journal, features contributions from researchers Dr. Emily Buddle, Mi…
