משבר הגרעינים העולמי, האמנם בעיה חקלאית?
בשבועות האחרונים הגיעו למשרדי מספר שיחות טלפון מתחקירנים של ערוצי תקשורת שונים בנושא משבר הדגניים העולמי. נתבקשתי לענות על שאלות שונות וביניהן האם מטפחי הדגניים יצליחו להגדיל את היבולים ולמנוע את המחסור המסתמן. שיחות אלו לא חרגו מעבר לשלב התחקיר, ולכן חשבתי שראוי להביא בפני ציבור הקוראים שאינו בקיא בכל הפרטים מספר נקודות למחשבה הנוגעות למשבר הגרעינים.

Congratulations to Dr Idan Efroni
10 May, 2017
Congratulations to Dr Idan Efroni on being chosen as an HHMI International Research Scholar.
Idan is unraveling the mystery of plants’ impressive regenerative abilities.

He uses tomatoes to study how plants generate new stem cells and meristems to replace damaged or missing roots. Insight into this process might reveal clues about tissue regeneration in other organisms, and help scientists boost plant production for agriculture.

Welcome Dr Ittai Herrmann
20 November, 2018
We welcome Dr Ittai Herrmann to the Institute.
Dr. Hermanni is setting up the Plant Sensing Laboratory. The lab will use remote and proximal sensing techniques, both in the field and in controlled environments, to nondestructively assess plant traits, detect stress, redict yield and assess plant phenology.
