Researchers compared domesticated rice to its wild counterparts, the results can help improve future rice productivity

New model accounts for individuals' varying biological susceptibility to infection but also their levels of social activity, which naturally change over time

Researchers have identified one of the molecular culprits behind a bacteria known to infect several key crops—pantaphos

Researchers have developed a direct cloning method that aims to accelerate large-scale discovery of novel natural products

Researchers reveal considerable differences between rice varieties in the ability of flag leaves to adjust to fluctuating light

New research shows that some crops are adapted to a pre-industrial environment and cannot distribute their resources effectively to take advantage of extra CO₂

Recent research aimed to understand how much variation exists within diverse cowpea lines in light absorption and carbon dioxide assimilation throughout the canopy

Researchers find that soybean plants may lose as much as 13 percent of their productivity because they cannot adjust quickly enough to changes in light intensity

By comparing similarities and differences in DNA sequence across different types of pineapple, researchers were able to trace how natural and artificial selection shaped key traits and established distinct varieties

In searching for useful products, a team of chemists in Illinois have discovered a whole new class of microbial recipes
