An Israeli research collaboration is offering fresh hope in the global effort to protect crops – without harming the planet.
At the centre of this innovation is a powerful alliance between computational chemistry and plant science.
Prof. Hanoch Senderowitz of Bar-Ilan’s Department of Chemistry and the ChemLife Center for Translational Chemistry has teamed up with Dr Iris Yedidia of the Volcani Center to develop a new generation of environmentally-friendly pesticides that could revolutionise agriculture.
Their mission is to tackle destructive crop diseases by disarming – not killing – the bacteria responsible.
