As I am excited to participate in the Food ingredients Europe next week already (19-21 November), I have been sharing how KeyGene is contributing to the innovation in this segment, one groundbreaking contribution at a time. Over the last few weeks, I was sharing some of our most impactful, publicly shareable advancements. DM me if you are there and would like to have a chat about KeyGene's efforts and expertise in plant-based proteins. Enhancing Nutritional Value with Advanced Research Through our cutting-edge technologies, knowledge, agility, and speed in our cooperation, KeyGene supports Ingredion Incorporated to quickly address consumers’ needs. We are committed to enable the development of pulses that have a better taste, making them even better fit for a diet with less meat. KeyGene among other trajectories and targets is applying proprietary innovation to identify regions in the genome of pea that affect flavor for ingredient purposes. The removal of bitter flavors allows pea to become better fit as an ingredient, lowering the extraction costs and eliminating the need for artificial additives and preservatives. Interested to know more? Read the interview with Lora Kilgore-Norquest, senior plant science manager at Ingredion Incorporated. https://lnkd.in/e_zFvi-i

After presentations of the success on several occasions, by both the Telomere to Telomere consortium and KeyGene (a.o. AGBT AG meeting at the end of March 2023 in Texas, USA, and the Oxford Nanopore Technologies London Calling conference in May 2023), the gapless assembly of a tomato and a maize genome using only one DNA sequencing platform is now also published in Genome Research.
Happy to see our publication “Gapless assembly of complete human and plant chromosomes using only nanopore sequencing” out now in Genome Research; https://lnkd.in/eBpZmBs4 KeyGene contributed by generating Oxford Nanopore Technologies Duplex data for Solanum lycopersicum Heinz 1706 (tomato), and Zea mays B73 (maize).

During the European Horticultural Congress this year, KeyGene's Stephanie Saade participated in the focus group on tissue culture and other techniques that may serve to boost the breeding of ornamental crops. The 'minutes' of their discussion are now published.
The article summarizing the discussion I had as part of the focus group at the European Horticultural Congress in Bucharest is out in (https://lnkd.in/evZAU_U5) I had the pleasure to discuss how tissue culture and other technologies can boost the ornamental breeding alongside Martina Juranić, Jean Carlos Cardoso and Marzena Parzymies, and moderated by Margherita Beruto and Danny Geelen

KeyGene's Herco van Liere shares some of the highlights of his participation in #Euroseeds2024 in Copenhagen here on LinkedIn. The event showcased cutting-edge innovations and emphasized the importance of regulatory frameworks and sustainable practices in ensuring a resilient future for agriculture. Enjoy reading his report!
No better way to enjoy #Copenhagen by combining a long weekend and working hard, being inspired and having fun during #Euroseeds2024. The preparation done together with Stephanie Saade was worth the execution of the more than 40 s(p)eed-date meetings. My summary is: - companies that work smarter together are the progressors of tomorrow. Like inspirational collaborations, recently setup for peas and sugar beet. - without overstepping Gene editing, there's a clear need to improve the profitability of a broader range of European crops (overcoming FSS and attracting investments). One of the solutions: more disruptive innovations and long term private-private collaborations to secure return on investment (throughout the value chain: from seed to feed & food). And if you couldn't participate, I summarised Euroseeds2024 further for you: - in Copenhagen, attracting ~1,300 industry professionals from over 60 countries. Theme: "Exploring collaboration and new frontiers of innovation" - not only showcased cutting-edge innovations but also emphasized the importance of regulatory frameworks and sustainable practices in ensuring a resilient future for agriculture. Here are the key highlights: Innovation Showcase The #InnovActionStage was a standout feature, showcasing 12 groundbreaking technologies designed for modern breeding solutions. Healthycrop was awarded the InnovActor2024 Award. Regulatory Developments - focus was on the new EU Plant Reproductive Material (PRM) Regulation, which emphasizes dynamic conservation and heterogeneous material. With the aim to enhance the flexibility and sustainability of seed practices. - Key discussions also revolved around the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and its implications for the seed industry, particularly concerning efforts to mitigate deforestation linked to EU imports. Sustainability and Future of Agriculture - critical role of plant breeding in reducing carbon emissions and adapting to climate change challenges. Asbjørn Børsting (DAKOFO) presented Denmark’s Green Agreement 2024: how agriculture can lead in sustainability. - A panel debate addressed the need to balance environmental sustainability with economic viability and food security in shaping future agricultural policies in Europe. Leadership Transition Michael Gohn concluded his term as Euroseeds President. He expressed gratitude for the collaboration and commitment shown by members. Søren Halbye from DLF will now lead Euroseeds into its next chapter. #Euroseeds2024 #AgInnovation #SeedIndustry #Sustainability Dinner: Alexis von Rhade Nordsaat Saatzucht GmbH | Christian Sig Jensen DLF | Jan Meiling Naktuinbouw | Valentin Wimmer Aardevo | KeyGene Carlsberg Laboratories: Birger Eriksen Sejet Plant Breeding | Kim Bonde Nordic Seed A/S | Birgitte Skadhauge & Zoran Gojkovic Carlsberg Group Garlich v.
