New gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 have the potential to revolutionise the fields of biology and medicine, from cancer treatments to biofuels. On the 7th and 8th of July, 70 researchers and policymakers from 17 countries met to discuss the application and implications of these technologies in plant breeding at a SEB satellite meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden, organised in collaboration with the Global Plant Council and GARNet.
