Researchers from Moldova State University in Chișinău are getting hands-on training from our experts in new genomic techniques (NGTs), so they can apply them back home.

👉 These methods can significantly accelerate the breeding of crops more resilient to climate change, diseases, and pests.

IEB and the Korean Institute of Natural Products Research (KIST) will collaborate on a unique project. For the first time on an international scale, they will systematically combine two different approaches – cultivating plants in smart farms and using natural microorganisms living in symbiosis.
