Abstract
Editor's Note: As part of the Advanced Dialogues series, the editor invites leading scientists and emerging voices to share their research journeys, experiences, and visions for the future of their fields. In this feature, Marc Van Montagu—Emeritus Professor at Ghent University, a founding father of plant genetic engineering, and Chairman of IPBO-VIB, shares his insights at 92, drawing on a personal conversation with the editor and a lecture he delivered at the ICG-20 conference, “From Feral to Fertile: Awakening Life in the Desert”, in Hangzhou.
编者按:作为“高级对话”系列的一部分,编辑邀请顶尖科学家和新兴声音分享他们的研究历程、经验和对各自领域未来的展望。在这篇专题文章中,根特大学名誉教授、植物基因工程之父、ipo - vib主席马克·范·蒙塔古(Marc Van montaguu)分享了他在92岁高龄时与编辑的一次私人谈话,以及他在杭州举行的ICG-20会议上发表的题为“从野性到肥沃:沙漠中觉醒的生命”的演讲。
