Webinar: Advances in CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing in Plants
December 3, 2025| |
CRISPR-Cas genome editing represents a revolutionary breakthrough and has emerged as a powerful technology offering unprecedented precision and efficiency in modifying the DNA of living organisms, including plants. It has opened up vast possibilities in basic and applied research for improving agriculture, diagnostics, and healthcare.
The 2nd International Workshop-cum-Webinar on ‘Advances in CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing in Plants' scheduled on December 10-12, 2025, will provide a comprehensive exploration of this cutting-edge field. The online 3-day evening sessions will be held from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm; IST 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm CET.
The workshop will begin by reviewing the fundamental principles of CRISPR and shed light on different methods for delivering CRISPR reagents into plant cells, with a particular focus on the innovative use of virus-mediated delivery.
The participants will further learn about the exciting developments in novel tissue culture-free methods for regenerating genome-edited plants and techniques for validating and verifying the edits.
Finally, the participants will explore the transformative applications of CRISPR, showcasing its impact on enhancing agriculture, food, and nutrition, as well as its profound implications for healthcare and the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding this groundbreaking technology.
Certificates will be given to all the participants.
