I just published: Gene Editing: Precision Breeding Regulations Now Live

On 13 November 2025, UK regulations for precision bred plants came into effect. We can now register precision bred plants, such as those with disease resistance and reduced reliance on fungicides.

Out First Release in @science.org
A pollen ligand, SIPS, binds to the female receptor, SRK. SIPS binds to a conserved region of SRK, for interspecific incompatibility, unlike the self-incompatibility factor, which binds to a different, variable region

Pan-family pollen signals control an interspecific stigma barrier across Brassicaceae species
Pre-zygotic interspecific incompatibility prevents hybridization between species limiting interbreeding strategies for crop improvement using wild relatives. The Brassica rapa female self-incompatibil...
