## Resource

Veli Vural Uslu (EMBL Postdoctoral Fellow, 2009-2015) speaks with Thomas Vaccari (EMBL Predoctoral fellow, 1999-2004) about Plant developmental regulation, environmental sensing, and new biotechnology techniques. He also explains his research into using RNA delivery for plant defense and agriculture, with a focus on a new method for delivering RNAs to plant cells. This interview was conducted in July 2023.
