For centuries, farmers have bred plants for traits such as taste, resilience and yield. The development of Next-Generation Sequencing, a visual technology, utilizing fluorescence imaging to explore ...

Cibus, Inc. announced significant advancements in its gene editing technology, particularly the establishment of production standards for its proprietary RTDS gene editing system, which enables the ...

Iowa State University researchers may have solved a long-standing challenge associated with accelerated development of pure genetic lines. Use of "doubled haploid" (DH) genetics has become one of the ...

An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has succeeded in generating haploids in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana very efficiently. This process involves degrading a ...

AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...

If you would like to learn more about the IAEA’s work, sign up for our weekly updates containing our most important news, multimedia and more. New rice and green bean plants are now being rolled out ...

VIB and UGent scientists have developed a new method which allows them to predict the final size of a plant while it is still a seedling. Thanks to this method, which is based on the knowledge that a ...

Resistance breeding is an important strategy for reducing crop losses caused by disease. The innate immune system allows plants to recognize their pathogens, often providing strong levels of ...

A team of scientists led by a horticulture professor who leads a pome fruit (apples and pears) breeding program, found that public plant breeding programs are seeing decreases in funding and personnel ...

The remarkable range of traits found within a single plant species gives home gardeners a practical starting point for ...

Scientists have developed a new method that allows them to predict the final size of a plant while it is still a seedling. Thanks to this method, which is based on the knowledge that a set of genes is ...
