CROP BOOSTERS Selected for an Oral Presentation at Biostimulants Europe 2026

Figure 1: The process of establishing plant cell suspension cultures. From left to right: selection of the genetic resource, induction of calli (mass of rapidly growing dedifferentiated plant cells) from explants, mass propagation of calli and transfer to liquid medium. Inset: isolated plant cells observed at the optical microscope.

The project has been selected for an oral presentation at Biostimulants Europe 2026 ( Biostimulants Europe – WPL Group ), highlighting its relevance and contribution within an international scientific and professional context. The focus will be on the plant cell culture technology (Figure 1) as a scalable, continuous means to produce compounds of relevance for crop stress mitigation.

SESSION FIVE “Engineering Biostimulants for Stability, Compliance, and User Trust” (February 5th, 2026)

Kick-off meeting in Luxembourg

On June 6th 2025, the CROP BOOSTERS consortium came together for the Kick-off Meeting in Luxembourg, officially launching the project.

Partners exchanged views on the project vision, objectives, and planned activities, and clarified roles and responsibilities across work packages. The meeting was an important opportunity to align expectations and set the groundwork for smooth collaboration. The day ended with a visit of LIST’s Greentech Innovation Centre 

With a shared commitment, vision and a strong consortium, CROP BOOSTERS is now ready to move forward and deliver impactful results.
