Dirk Inzé, Professor Emeritus at the University of Ghent and former head of the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology has been elected as a Member of Class of Fundamental Sciences and Mathematics Science (F.M.S.) at the European Academy of Engineering (EAE) in Sweden. Simultaneously, Peter Carmeliet, Professor at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology has been elected as a Member of the Class of Biomedical Engineering (B.M.E). The President of the EAE communicated this prestigious honor on May 27th in a congratulatory letter to both Dirk and Peter.
During breeding segregating populations are created, which prohibit rigorous statistical analyses. To circumvent this issue, we have developed a double haploid (DH) pipeline (in collaboration with PSB’s crop genome facility) which has the power to greatly assisted in the identification of causative gene combinations. The haploid inducer BREEDIT strategy (HI-BREEDIT) allows the generation of fixed multiple gene edited lines of different orders which can be propagated indeterminately and provide a powerful resource for genetical and molecular analyses.
