Plant breeding plays a vital role in ensuring global food security by increasing crop yields, improving nutritional quality ...

Thornless, disease-resistant, and tastier blackberries could be on the horizon—thanks to new genetic research from the ...

By studying historical plant samples from the last few centuries, scientists can uncover clues about how plants respond at the molecular level to environmental pressures, offering valuable insights ...

Potatoes are a staple food for over 1.3 billion people. But despite their importance for global food security, breeding ...

cytosine deaminase, and uracil glycosylase inhibitor (to prevent uracil removal)—or ABE, which consists of nuclease-free Cas9 and adenosine deaminase, to the desired target sites in the plant genome.

This approach enhances genome-editing efficiency while minimizing toxicity and immune responses in plant cells. 6 Unlike traditional methods that rely on mechanical force or biological vectors, ...

We apply genomics, genetics, physiology and cell biology to understand the processes of plant genome dynamics, and exploit genome structural knowledge to develop tools and know-how for plant breeding.

In a major breakthrough, a team at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) found a new way to acccelerate plant bioengineering using robots. Researchers deployed a ...

A research team has decoded the genome of historic potato cultivars and used this resource to develop an efficient method for analysis of hundreds of additional potato genomes.
