PlantGENE Launch Event

The PlantGENE community has already generated a membership of over 250 researchers world-wide, 175 of which attended the launch event live to meet the PlantGENE Steering Committee, take part in exercises to plan workshops, activities and create online resources and hear presentations from PlantGENE leader, Joyce Van Eck and transformation expert, Bill Gordon-Kamm. Videos of the presentations are provided below and we will share more outcomes and data from the meeting with members in due course.
