Research into cisgeneses continues unabated

‘A number of reports have been written recently about cisgeneses that clearly indicate that cisgeneses is as safe as any conventional method of plant breeding. It is a pity, therefore, to have to conclude that this ministry and some politicians are unreceptive to ongoing scientific understanding’, are the recent words of Professor Evert Jacobson in his valedictory speech. Yet research in the domain of cisgeneses will continue unabated after his leaving the Plant Breeding department of Wageningen University, as was confirmed by the trial field of the DuRPh project.
