Graduate student Arjun Ojha Kshetry and colleagues combined two key genes: WIND1, which reprograms cells near a wound, and ...

Biological functions, resource availability, and evolutionary processes often play a key role in determining the expression of genetic traits and their correlations. In fact, several plant traits are ...

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 ...

A group of researchers has discovered a new approach to cereal plant breeding that takes into account the internal 'calculator' of plant seeds that makes them continuously reorganize themselves ...

There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...

Researchers have discovered that plants may be able to control the genetics of their intimate root symbionts - the organism with which they live in symbiosis - thereby providing a better understanding ...

Scientists and technicians complete the objective of protecting seeds threatened by the war in a cold storage facility at an ...

Civil society organisations and farmer groups on Tuesday expressed their concerns over the proposed amendments to the ...
