Green Genes: How Plants Shape Our World

Like us, plants are also watching the sunrise, experiencing the changing seasons and breathing the air. Behind these behaviors lies a complex network of genes that regulate plant growth and development. Understanding these gene networks helps us uncover how plants adapt to their environments and thrive. By manipulating gene expression, we can even design plants to better benefit our lives. But what exactly are gene-edited plants? And are they safe? Let’s explore these questions together at our December event on the 12th with Wenli Wang, a post-doctoral scholar in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at UT Austin.
