Agricultural production must scale-up to feed the growing population, while simultaneously maintaining current standards of safety. Genomic technologies such as next generation sequencing, genome-wide association studies, and CRISPR genomic engineering facilitate breakthroughs in crop development. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Pamela Ronald and Kan Wang will explore some the latest advances in the field of crop genetics and genomics that enhance food security.
