MicroRNA396 has been identified as a negative regulator of shoot regeneration in tomatoes, unlocking possibilities for plant genetic engineering. Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...

A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been published today in the journal Science Advances and includes collaborations with ...

A research team has created gene-edited crops without using tissue culture. A team of plant biotechnologists led by Gunvant Patil at Texas Tech University (TX, USA) has developed a groundbreaking ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

Plant biologists have developed a method for growing transgenic and gene-edited plants that cuts the slow and expensive process down from months to weeks. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

In a study published in Cell on May 22, researchers led by Prof. LI Chuanyou from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported their discovery ...

Gene editing of plants enabled the production of more nutritionally rich rice and fortified tomatoes. But these innovations have often come about only through long, painstaking work. This process ...

Got a plant with a boo-boo? Try a plant Band-Aid. A pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria can act as a plant bandage, researchers report, significantly boosting healing and regeneration in ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...
