Vietnam is a country with a strong agricultural development but is also facing major challenges from climate change and the environment. However, advances in biotechnology, especially gene editing technology, have helped Vietnam's agricultural sector open up new opportunities to increase crop productivity and quality. Currently, Vietnamese scientists are researching and initially succeeding in creating drought-resistant rice varieties. In the context of increasingly severe climate change, this is an important step forward, opening up new prospects for Vietnam's agriculture. At the international conference on gene editing technology organized by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the United States, Rencontres du Vietnam, the Institute of Biotechnology under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, and the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) recently in Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh), nearly 20 scientists and researchers from many countries around ...
