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.

The technique involves making high-resolution digital photos of slices of plant tissues and using commercial software to create a 3-dimensional perspective

University of Wisconsin-Madison plant scientists intend to employ some highly sophisticated instruments to evaluate new varieties of organic vegetables: the palates of the people who produce or prepare them for discerning customers.

Several Kansas State University researchers were essential in helping scientists assemble a draft of a genetic blueprint of bread wheat, also known as common wheat. The food plant is grown on more than 531 million acres around the world and produces nearly 700 million tons of food each year.
