@KropffMartin I still remember introducing the very first CIMMYT gene edited maize to you in the empty campus during the pandemic. The work has successfully concluded! Gene edited CIMMYT elite maize with bullet-proof MLN resistance.

Finally, here it is--Gene edited elite maize lines with Maize Lethal Necrosis resistance: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb…. So many stories along this special journey. Pandemic didn't slow us down, because of the support from so many. Forever indebted.

Africa is in a race against time on #foodsecurity, and we know that getting the right technologies to African farmers at scale is key to delivery impact on #SDG2. It was a pleasure to share @CGIAR’s research and innovation in this area at the @AfDB_Group’s Annual Meeting.
