Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), led by Associate Professor Gao Yonggui and Assistant Professor Ma Wei, have successfully bioengineered and improved a plant protein that is responsible for oil accumulation in plant seeds and edible nuts. Using their patent-pending method, plants which have the modified protein can accumulate up to 15 – 18% more oil in their seeds.
After overseas travel was severely restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic, Singaporeans were once again able to enjoy travelling, thanks to a greater easing of travel restrictions over the last several months.
