00:25 Why do we need plant breeding?
01:09 What is molecular plant breeding?
01:44 Why are molecular markers important in
plant breeding?
02:23 Is it theoretically possible to breed plants that produce substances used in pharmaceuticals?
03:04 Are genetically modified plants dangerous?
03:43 Are genetically modified plants less vigorous in the field compared with conventionally bred plants?
04:05 How does genome editing work compared with traditional plant breeding and conventional
gene technology?
05:47 What opportunities and risks are associated with CRISPR/Cas?
06:55 Does CRISPR/Cas really only change the target location in the genome, or are other regions and genes also affected?
07:46 What methods are used to introduce the CRISPR/Cas system into the cell?
08:20 What if we were to use these molecular genetic methods on Mars or the moon in order to
save our planet?
08:58 Will all breeding then take place with CRISPR/Cas in the lab?
09:24 Where does the scepticism towards green gene technology come from?
10:17 How can we increase the acceptance of new plant breeding technologies such as CRISPR/Cas in Switzerland?
