A recent study showcases the power of CRISPR gene editing to significantly boost the production of resveratrol, a ...

Proposed legislation in New Zealand is expected to allow greater use of GM and gene editing technology, including in plants; making co-existence critical to the needs of different industries of the ...

A common example of genetic modification involves the transfer of ... removed and inserted into crop plants. For thousands of years farmers have instinctively known to breed together - a big ...

Plant biotechnology can be defined as the introduction of desirable traits into plants through genetic modification. Future genome editing in plants will mimic the natural evolutionary processes ...

helping plants retain moisture, block pathogens, and, crucially, store carbon for extended periods. While tweaking genetic systems holds promise for improving crop yields and increasing carbon uptake, ...

The team of researchers found that a gene in Poncirus trifoliata, a hardy citrus relative, is what's behind the plant's ...

Over time, plants have evolved various strategies to defend against herbivores. A new study uncovers how these plant defense ...

Plant genetic researchers, including those at USDA, are relying on genetic resources like data to help expedite the crossbreeding process to ...

Unlike traditional genetic modification (GMO) methods, which introduce foreign DNA, CRISPR allows scientists to make targeted changes within a plant's own genetic code. This technology enables ...
