International Plants Day and IV Conference of Young Scientists "Plant Biology and Biotechnology"

This year, despite the state of war, the Fascination of Plants Day was held for the eighth time in Ukraine. Plants Day is a holiday celebrated around the world once every 2 years under the auspices of the European Plant Biology Organization (EPSO), and is aimed at forming a respectful and environmentally conscious attitude towards nature.

This year, the "Institute of Food Biotechnology and Genomics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine", the Kryvyi Rih Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Boyar Forest Research Station, the National Botanical Garden named after Dr. M.M. Hryshka National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Botanical Garden named after Acad. O.V., Fomina, Oleksandria Arboretum, Vorzel Reserve and Syret National Dendrological Park. Together, we organized and conducted 20 events in Kyiv, Boyarka, Vorzel, Bila Tserkva and Kryvyi Rih, and Ukraine was among the seven leaders among European countries in terms of the number of volunteer events organized for Plant Day.

Proposing a new drug to treat tuberculosis utilizing state-of-the-art computer simulations

Research team lead by Toyohashi University of Technology have proposed a new drug to treat tuberculosis. This drug may inhibit the cell division of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and suppress its growth. In addition, because this drug acts on the enzymes secreted by M. tuberculosis, M. tuberculosis has very little chance of mutation and develops no drug resistance. Therefore, it's expected this drug will lead to a novel drug that will keep its effectiveness.

ISAAA Brief 55 – Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops for 2019

ISAAA Brief 55 – Biotech Crops Drive Socio-Economic Development and Sustainable Environment in the New Frontier
Socio-economic benefits of biotech crops have been documented in the last 23 years (1996-2018) showing that biotech crops have contributed to:
∙ increasing productivity that contributes to global food, feed, and fiber security;
∙ supporting self-sufficiency on a nation’s arable land;
∙ conserving biodiversity, precluding deforestation and protecting biodiversity sanctuaries;
∙ mitigating the challenges associated with climate change; and
∙ improving economic, health, and social benefits.
