Luis Herrera of StelaGenomics, Inc. in the U.S. proposes to produce transgenic crop plants that express an enzyme allowing them to take up a unique source of phosphorous as fertilizer, and to greatly compromise weed growth. This new fertilizer and weed control system could help achieve sustainable high-yield agriculture in Sub-Saharan African without expensive herbicides.
