When we drive past sunny fields of grapes, we might think we're seeing how they’re doing—but much more is going on invisible to the human eye: vines and roots teeming with bacteria, viruses and fungi that all impact how those grapes will grow.

Using natural soil components to trap pollutants will allow producers to control soil contaminants and reuse draining water while protecting their agricultural crops, according to Mohamed Elsayed, a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar in the chemistry and biochemistry department.

Oats are often touted for boosting heart health, but scientists warn that the grain and its products might need closer monitoring for potential mold contamination.

A recent study involving Kansas State University researchers finds that in the coming decades at least one-quarter of the world's wheat production will be lost to extreme weather from climate change if no adaptive measures are taken.

For every degree Celsius that the temperature increases, the world loses 6 percent of its wheat crop, according to a new global study led by a University of Florida (UF) scientist. That’s one fourth of the annual global wheat trade, which reached 147 million tons in 2013.

ORNL work with scientists funded by The American Chestnut Foundation confirms increased blight-resistance of former forest giant.

Texas Tech Collaboration with Bayer CropScience could translate into better commercial varieties for growers.

If it were the end of the world as we know it, we’d be fine, according to Michigan Technological University professor Joshua Pearce.

Patent-pending technology has shown success in disease resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus and triticum mosaic virus, among others.
