Direct Cloning Method "CAPTUREs" Novel Microbial Natural Products
Researchers have developed a direct cloning method that aims to accelerate large-scale discovery of novel natural products
How Targeting Flag Leaves Could Help Rice Be More Productive
Researchers reveal considerable differences between rice varieties in the ability of flag leaves to adjust to fluctuating light
Corn and Other Crops Not Adapted to Benefit from High CO2
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
Scientists Further Cowpea Research, Boost Crop Productivity
Recent research aimed to understand how much variation exists within diverse cowpea lines in light absorption and carbon dioxide assimilation throughout the canopy
How to Boost Soybean Yields by Adapting Photosynthesis to Fleeting Shadows
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
Pineapple Genome Sequences Hint at Plant Domestication in a Single Step
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
