Innovative genetic engineering strategies are transforming crops, enabling them to withstand extreme climate conditions and support food security.

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

MicroRNA396 has been identified as a negative regulator of shoot regeneration in tomatoes, unlocking possibilities for plant genetic engineering. Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of ...

Genetically altering crops may be key to helping them adapt to extreme temperatures. But shrinking funds and social acceptance stand in the way. By Rebecca Dzombak The world’s bread baskets are ...

Advances in genetic engineering have given rise to an era of foods—including genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-edited foods—that promise to revolutionize the way we eat. Critics argue ...

For decades, excessive, unscientific regulation has slowed innovation using molecular genetic engineering. Policymakers must awaken to the realization that regulations based on pseudoscience or ...
