Research in molecular genetics and genetic engineering in fertilization mechanisms examines the self-fertilization ability of trees without the help of bees

  • No comments
Genetic characterization of varieties is very important for farmers, because it allows choosing the right combination of planting the varieties in the orchard, to obtain a maximum yield. Characterizing varieties that are 'self-fertile', i.e. self-fertilizing (as in apricots, for example), allows planting plots with only one variety (without the need for an additional variety for fertilization - male and female) that yield a high yield, regardless of the environmental conditions at the time of fertilization, such as temperatures or bee activity such as Also saving agricultural land

Illustration: depositphotos.com at Ben Gurion University. The Innovation Authority is launching a route to encourage and promote technological entrepreneurship, innovation and R&D in the Beer Sheva metropolis; the program's budget is 25 million NIS The Innovation Authority is launching a new program to promote technological innovation and entrepreneurship in the Beer Sheva area in the areas of cyber, fifth generation (5G), health, artificial intelligence and more. , which will also work to promote R&D infrastructure, strengthen local entrepreneurship and encourage the arrival of multinational and local high-tech companies to the region, will be budgeted at 25 million NIS for a period of four years and its goal will be to turn the Beer Sheva region into a high-tech metropolis in the Negev. Dr. Ami Appelbaum, Chairman of the Innovation Authority: "In recent years, the Innovation Authority has been working in favor of leading an innovation-oriented economic strategy in the periphery, which will make it possible to promote and benefit the economy at the local and national level. The program to promote entrepreneurship in the Beer Sheva region will focus on establishing research and development infrastructures, strengthening local entrepreneurship As well as the impetus for the arrival of large hi-tech companies (multinational and local) to the region. Hi-tech has emerged in the past year as a major engine for exiting the economic crisis, focusing on the periphery during this period may be a real lever for the economic strengthening that is required in the region." Anya Eldan, VP and head of the start-up arena at the Innovation Authority, said: "The program will focus on technological fields with significant growth potential, including cyber, fifth generation (5G), health, industry, sustainability and more. Also, the program will focus on strengthening the entrepreneurial community in Beer Sheva, and integrating the minority population into the technological entrepreneurship ecosystem." , increasing the knowledge and innovation centers in the city, increasing the number of technology companies in the city that employ at least 100 employees, increasing the number of entrepreneurs in underrepresented populations, encouraging technological entrepreneurs and the establishment of start-up companies in the city, and more," Eldan emphasizes. The program to promote technological entrepreneurship in Be'er Sheva will be expressed on several levels: building a technological infrastructure and knowledge centers, including - innovation centers in the field of cleantech (CleanTech), a synthetic data center (Sandbox) for examining algorithms in the cyber field and more. Strengthening the entrepreneurial community - building a basket of benefits for entrepreneurs (recruitment incentive and relocation programs), recruiting expert mentors, connecting the entrepreneurs of the city and the area with investors, entrepreneurial communities, academia and established companies. Encouraging the establishment of R&D and innovation centers of established high-tech companies - building human capital programs in collaboration with Kiryat ICT, encouraging established technology companies and other entities to establish innovation centers through encouragement and support grants, cooperation with local placement companies and more. Promotion, branding and marketing of the Beer Sheva area As a high-tech metropolis in the Negev - holding professional events, meetups and conferences (including international conferences), opening municipal databases and promoting Beer Sheva as a "beta site" for entrepreneurs, etc. The city of Beer Sheva has a significant advantage - it has about 220 thousand residents and is a metropolis that serves about 750 residents in the Negev region, in an area that makes up about 60% of the territory of the State of Israel. However, the great potential inherent in it is not realized, and today it has several dozen start-up companies (less than 1% of the total start-up companies in Israel), and it suffers from a shortage In R&D infrastructures and knowledge centers that aim to promote the activity of entrepreneurs and young companies. By law, due to the geographic focus, the route requires the approval of the Finance Committee of the Knesset.
