SynTech Research Group is emphasizing its capabilities in modern plant breeding as Europe moves forward with significant regulatory changes concerning New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).
The European Commission recently introduced a regulation that could redefine the status of plants developed through NGTs. Under this proposal, modifications achieved via NGTs that could also occur naturally or through conventional breeding would be treated as conventional plants, exempting them from existing GMO legislation requirements.
This regulatory shift is expected to accelerate innovation across the agricultural sector, and SynTech Research Group is positioning itself as a key partner for companies seeking to leverage these opportunities.
