Innovative genetic engineering strategies are transforming crops, enabling them to withstand extreme climate conditions and ...
Researchers are investigating how plants use “natural genetic engineering” to borrow genes from other species and adapt more ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...
Researchers from the University of Sheffield are investigating how plants use "natural genetic engineering" to borrow genes ...
Variations of cold shock proteins (CSPs) are found in more than 85% of known bacteria, as well as fungi and insects. The ...
Scientists explore how plants can rapidly adapt to climate change through natural genetic engineering, revolutionising crop ...
As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...
The International Union for Conservation of Nature, a top conservation group, is weighing a moratorium on unleashing genetically modified plants or animals into the wild.
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, but the overuse of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture is not sustainable. In a review article publishing in the journal Trends in ...
