This episode we're joined by Dr. Pamela Ronald, a professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and the Genome Center at the University of California, Davis and a member of the Innovative Genomics Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Ronald recently received the VinFuture Prize Award - for her breakthroughs in high-yield stress-tolerant rice varieties. She is also the author of, “Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food.” Dr. Ronald joins Shely to talk about her work using genetics to help feed the world and the potential that genetic engineering has for the future of agriculture.

NASA researchers found that climate change may affect the production of rice as early as 2030. Among those trying to mitigate the losses is Pamela Ronald, who helped develop a new strain of rice that can survive weeks of flooding. She joins us. Film critic Ty Burr shares a list of film recommendations for films (and one TV show) that are available via streaming.

Pamela Ronald is one of the world's leading scientists on plant genetics, a professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis, and the co-author (with her husband, Raoul Adamchuk) of Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food. In this episode, she and Robert talk about the evolution of pathogens, why nearly everything we eat has been genetically modified, her work on developing flood-resistant strains of rice, CRISPR, and why geneticist Barbara McClintock, the winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is one of her personal heroes.

Thomas Juenger, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin, joins host Lauren Richardson (@lr_bio) to discuss the results and implications of the article “Genomic mechanisms of climate adaptation in polyploid bioenergy switchgrass”, by John T.

In this episode, Joram gets really upset. Tegan offers her services as an apocalyptic seamstress. And somewhere, a palla's cat is looking regal.

The term agroecology is being used increasingly often, but what exactly does it mean? Is it a science, a system, a practice, a movement, an ideology or a combination of the above? Our panelists will share their definitions of the term and discuss where agroecology can best be implemented. What are some of the opportunities and constraints in its adoption? What is driving the agroecology movement? What does it have in common with other systems of agriculture? And what role can it play in making agriculture more sustainable? The panelists are: Pamela Ronald, professor in the Genome Center and the Department of Plant Pathology, and founding director of the Institute for Food and Agricultural Literacy, at the University of California, Davis; Frédéric Baudron, senior scientist and systems agronomist at CIMMYT; and Nassib Mugwanya, Ugandan agricultural communications specialist and PhD candidate at North Carolina State University. Joan Conrow, Alliance for Science managing editor, will moderate.

If you've heard that GMOs are bad, I want to introduce you to Pamela Ronald. She's a plant geneticist who is married to an organic farmer and they co-authored the book Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics and the Future of Food. This "strange marriage" can teach us all about the power of considering all tools, technology and innovations to reach our common goal for the future of sustainable agriculture and our planet. This is a must-listen episode! Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.soundbitesrd.com/89

Investigate the complications, misinformation, passion and confusion around GMOs, sustainable farming, and the future of food, with Neil Tyson, Chuck Nice, plant geneticist Pamela Ronald, and Scott Hamilton Kennedy, director of “Food Evolution” which Neil narrates.

Are ‘GMOs’ good or bad? Are they safe to eat? Are they symbolic of what is wrong with our food system? According to plant geneticist Pamela Ronald, such generalisations make little scientific sense and do nothing to advance discussions on sustainable agriculture. This week, we talk ‘GMOs’ with Pamela Ronald from the University of California Davis. Pam and her colleagues have received a number of awards for their work on submergence-tolerant rice. She’s also very well known for her pragmatic but unique approach to sustainable agriculture that brings together genetic engineering and organic farming.   We discuss: The issues with defining and discussing GMOs in a generalist sense Some of the criticisms associated with the topic, the misconceptions and misinformation The role genetic engineering may play in helping to forge disease-resistant, climate-change-resilient crops The millions of farmers planting seeds carrying a gene Pam and her collaborators isolated.

Through very innovative work in the area of agriculture, scientists have worked through social enterprise in improving and securing crop yield, especially rice, which has enabled farmers in India and Bangladesh to feed their families and earn a profit from their surplus. In this audio interview with Stanford Center for Social Innovation correspondent Sheela Sethuraman, Pamela Ronald, of the University of California, Davis, talks about how her laboratory, in collaboration with other scientists, developed a variety of rice with sufficient submergence tolerance to survive severe flooding. Ronald also offers insights on the relationship between genetic engineering and organic farming, enhancing an ecologically based system of farming, and on international development, in this Social Innovation Conversations, Stanford University podcast. Pamela Ronald is Professor, Department of Plant Pathology and the Genome Center at the University of California, Davis. She also serves as Director of Grass Genetics at the Joint Bioenergy Institute. Ronald’s laboratory has engineered rice for resistance to disease and tolerance to flooding, which seriously threaten rice crops in Asia and Africa. Ronald led the isolation of the rice XA21 immune receptor and the rice Sub1A submergence tolerance transcription factor. In 1996, she established the Genetic Resources Recognition fund, a mechanism to recognize intellectual property contributions from less developed countries. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/using_science_and_social_enterprise_to_improve_rice_crop_yield_in_india_and

Pamela Ronald, Professor of Plant Pathology at UC Davis and Author of the 2012 Annual Review of Plant Biology, talks to Anna Rascouët-Paz about her article Plant Innate Immunity: Perception of Conserved Microbial Signatures.

Pamela Ronald is a plant geneticist at the University of California – Davis, and co-author of the book, Tomorrow’s Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food.  The book is about how genetic engineering and organic farming can be tools in the production of food now, and in the future.  In this episode, we talk about […]

Pamela Ronald is a professor of plant pathology and the chair of the Plant Genomics Program at the University of California, Davis. Raoul Adamchak is an organic farmer and the Market Garden Coordinator of the Student Farm, also at UC Davis. In their Food for Thought lecture, this married couple explains how some genetically enhanced crops can improve wholesome agricultural productivity and help achieve the low chemical inputs that are the goal of organic agriculture, while some genetic enhancements are best avoided altogether. Outreach in Biotechnology’s Food for Thought Lecture Series brings together internationally recognized experts to talk about the best (and worst) ways to use biotechnology for food and fuel.

She's the head of a plant genetics lab at UC Davis; he teaches organic farming there. They're married (with kids), and they coauthored Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food. In the book they wrote: "To meet the appetites of the world's population without drastically hurting the environment requires a visionary new approach: combining genetic engineering and organic farming. Genetic engineering can be used to develop seeds with enhanced resistance to pests and pathogens; organic farming can manage the overall spectrum of pests more effectively."Agriculture has been a revolutionary biological science for 10,000 years, husbanding soil, tweaking the genes of the food crops. This is the next stage.
