To talk about how plant breeding can help us unlock a more sustainable future, I reached out to my colleague Dr. Rita Mumm. Dr. Mumm is a scientist, educator and entrepreneur who has spent her career ...
New techniques developed at UC Davis could allow breeding of plants with one genetic parent, dramatically speeding up breeding of new crop varieties. (Getty Images) Scientists are a step closer to ...
The use of various mutagens to generate genetic variation in crop plants has a history almost as long as that of conventional breeding. Induction of variability by irradiation of barley seeds with ...
In a new study published in Nature Genetics, led by Charles Underwood from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, scientists established a system to generate clonal ...
The "Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market for Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants was valued at ...
AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...
People have been making genetic changes to plants since the start of agriculture. Since farming began, people have altered the genes of plants grown for food. Over time, people have developed many ...
Plants often develop communities with microorganisms in their roots, which influences plant health and development. Although the recruitment of these microbes is dictated by several factors, it is ...
All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules of genetic inheritance, which determine how traits are passed on from one generation to ...
Scientists are a step closer to breeding plants with genes from only one parent. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, published Nov. 19 in Science Advances, ...
Scientists are a step closer to breeding plants with genes from only one parent. New research led by plant biologists at UC Davis shows the underlying mechanism behind eliminating half the genome and ...
