A senior from Jamaica has earned top honors at a prestigious scientific conference for his work in plant genome research.

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 ...

"Knowledge of genome sequences forms the basis for many approaches in plant breeding, from traditional breeding to the latest methods of genome engineering," says Schneeberger. "In the future ...

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.

Instead of integrating the CRISPR system into the plant's genome, the researchers used a technique called transient transformation. Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens — a bacterium commonly used in ...

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 this webinar, New York University’s Dr. Jae Young Choi will discuss how to perform Pore-C sequencing in plant species to generate chromosome-level genome assemblies and map chromatin interactions ...

Importantly, the genome changes can be passed on to future generations and the novel system doesn't leave behind the virus or any foreign DNA in the edited plant. "CRISPR has the potential to make ...
