Funding will help the University of Saskatchewan advance its research and innovation program.
Joint BioEnergy Institute study identifies bacterial protein that is key to protecting rice against bacterial blight.
A new study led by a Kansas State University geneticist has shown that genomic signatures of adaptation in crop plants can help predict how crop varieties respond to stress from their environments.
Clemson University's Institute of Translational Genomics, led by geneticist Stephen Kresovich, has been awarded $6 million by Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy as one of six projects seeking to accelerate the development of sustainable energy crops for the production of renewable transportation fuels.
Healthier and longer lasting pita bread may be the outcome of barley research underway at the University of Adelaide’s Waite campus.
Researchers at the University of Georgia have used a gene editing tool known as CRISPR/Cas to modify the genome of a tree species for the first time. Their research, published recently in the early online edition of the journal New Phytologist, opens the door to more rapid and reliable gene editing of plants.
Researchers call for a fast and flexible regulatory response to the synthesis of morphine in genetically engineered yeast strains.
For plants, the only way to grow is for cells to expand. Unlike animals, cell division in plants happens only within a tiny region of the root and stem apex, making cell expansion the critical path to increased stature.
The first genome-scale model for predicting the functions of genes and gene networks in a grass species has been developed.
