As part of the HelEx project, Nicolas Langlade visited Wageningen University & Research to observe their pioneering work on sunflower transformation using wild Helianthus species.
Wageningen’s mission: develop a regeneration and transformation pipeline to transfer key traits like drought tolerance, pollinator friendliness, and seed quality into elite sunflower lines.
A step toward more resilient and sustainable sunflower crops and a great example of how top-level science supports real-world impact.
