Studying the ways that magenta and yellow flowers intermingle paints a vibrant picture of how the plants exchange genetic ...

Climate change tests the resilience of farmers and their crops. To better understand how plants respond to their dynamic environments, scientists magnify the complex biological conversations between ...

The climate is warming increasingly quickly, especially in the Alps, which poses a challenge for organisms. If they do not ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine ...

As Earth's climate warms and changes, sustainable agricultural practices are critical for feeding a rapidly growing population. Can we genetically engineer crops to adapt to drought and other effects ...

Scientists leveraged plants’ built-in regeneration capacity to grow modified plants in weeks instead of months, offering a ...

Using an improved version of the gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, researchers knocked out up to twelve genes in plants in a single blow. Until now, this had only been possible for single or small groups ...

The world 500 million years ago looked very different to today. The land was bare, with only bacteria, fungi and algae able to survive on it. Everything else lived in the ocean, but once plants moved ...

Plant biologists have developed a method for growing transgenic and gene-edited plants that cuts the slow and expensive ...

There are human cancer genes in plants. Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee are studying what they and other human genes are doing there. There are human cancer genes in ...

More research into crop variety development is using gene editing. Canada’s regulatory approach to gene editing will help ...
