    The ideal crop plant is delicious and productive, while also resistant to pests and
    diseases.


    CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors allow for targeted editing, insertion or inhibition
    of genes in plants.


    Professor Holger Puchta has been working with his team at the KIT Institute of Botany for 30 years to study the application
    of gene scissors.


    Learn from nature: Chromosome engineering prevents gene exchange

    In their research, the scientists followed nature's example
    .


    In collaboration with Professor Andreas Houben of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plants (IPK), Puchta and his team flipped the chromosomes of the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana by nine
    tenths.


    Make it possible to grow more efficient and robust crop plants in the future

    In order to effectively cultivate crops, it is important
    to combine as many favorable traits as possible in one plant.
