We welcome Dr. Fikret Isik, Professor and University Faculty Scholar, to join and co-lead Forest Biotech Group NCSU. Dr. Isik is an expert in quantitative genetics and its application to plant and animal breeding. Welcome, Fikret!!!

Did you know that the world’s largest collection of gene-edited wood is located right here on Centennial Campus? The Forest Biotech Group (NC State College of Natural Resources) uses #genetics and #genome editing to create healthier forests and #sustainable bio-products. Forest Biotech Group NCSU NCSU Christmas Tree Genetics program (official)

Welcome the Forest Biotech Group (NC State College of Natural Resources) to #NCStatePSB! They are part of Forest Biotech Group NCSU whose #research uses CRISPR and an integrative #genetics approach to enhance tree metabolism, growth & resilience. Learn more: bit.ly/3wRGEUs

It was great to have a group Congressional staff members visit the #NCStatePSB today! It was a wonderful opportunity to share about how #NC_PSI is working to address some of North Carolina's agricultural grand challenges. #agriculture #NorthCarolina NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Adrian Percy

Jack Wang and the TreeCo team have created the world's 1st #genome-edited paper! Using #CRISPR technologies, TreeCo and the Forest Biotech Group NCSU are working to create healthier forests and #sustainable bio-products. NC State University #forests #sustainableforests #innovation #IAmPSI #agriculture

Forests are essential to life on earth. And the forest product industry adds billions to the N.C. #economy each year. Which is why Jack Wang (Forest Biotech Group NCSU) & Rodolphe Barrangou (Rodolphe Barrangou) are working to make more #sustainable #forests! bit.ly/3BE2hsE #NationalForestWeek

Happy Holidays from the #NC_PSI! Our diverse #community decorated our non-denominational #holiday tree last week. It may be the nerdiest tree we've ever seen. We wish you a happy holiday season and look forward to #learning and growing with you in the #newyear

New OA Article: "Cell-type-specific PtrWOX4a and PtrVCS2 form a regulatory nexus with a histone modification system for stem cambium development in Populus" rdcu.be/c26rC TF and histone acetylation are coordinated for maintaining stem vascular cambium development

Bringing CRISPR to forestry... Check out our work with Jack Wang Forest Biotech Group NCSU: Multiplex CRISPR editing of wood for sustainable fiber production | Applications and Implications... science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New in Science: #CRISPR editing has enabled scientists to design wood in which lignin is more suitable for fiber production. The approach could make paper production less polluting. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/3ll #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/3lk
