While modern transformation and genome editing technologies enable this transfer, they require specialized expertise not available in all participating groups. Crop plants are not only being improved for environmental resilience but also explored as biofactories, for instance, to produce recombinant proteins for industrial or medical use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Recognizing the growing importance of crop-focused research, the MLU Biocenter has restructured its service units to provide essential support in the areas of Plant Transformation and Genome Editing, Protein Production, and Microscopy. These centralized services now act as key resources for VALUE PLANT subprojects, offering technical infrastructure and expert support. The VALUE PLANT projects also serve as a launchpad to integrate and develop these newly established service units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/files\/2025\/05\/plant.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91\" width=\"47\" height=\"47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/files\/2025\/05\/plant.jpg 608w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/files\/2025\/05\/plant-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/files\/2025\/05\/plant-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/files\/2025\/05\/plant-510x510.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 47px) 100vw, 47px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Tasks of the Network Central support for subprojects of all three work packages related to the genetic modification of crops and the analysis of desired biochemical or physiological properties of transgenic plants PIs &#8211; Dr. Sophia Gerasimova (Plant Transformation and Genome Editing)Dr. Michael Zahn (Protein Production)Dr. Stephanie Kr\u00fcger (Microscopy)MLU Biocenter Postdocs &#8211; Robin SchickDr. [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6320,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6320"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions\/219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/valueplant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
