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 ...

Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To address these challenges, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Genetic engineering is poised to help biopharma realize the potential benefits of commercial-scale, plant-based protein production, according to a leading researcher. The idea of making therapeutic ...

Purdue Biologist Stanton B. Gelvin explained how Agrobacterium moves DNA into wounded plant cells, and why cracking that “black box” matters for agriculture during a seminar Wednesday afternoon at the ...

Vegetable oils have wide-ranging uses, playing a role in everything from food processing, to perfume production to the manufacture of biofuels. With demand only expected to increase, a team of ...

KIT researchers succeeded for the first time in reducing the number of chromosomes in a plant using the CRISPR/Cas method – surprisingly without affecting its growth The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors ...
