Genetic engineering in roses is a cutting-edge scientific process that involves altering the plant’s DNA to change its ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African ...

When they removed CAX gene from plants using genetic engineering, the plants were more tolerant to low-oxygen stress (anoxia) and flooding than when the gene was active. Next, the researchers ...

The field of plant biotechnology is undergoing a profound transformation. The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) ...

A new study has uncovered a previously unknown plastome structural variation in the variegated plant Dianella tasmanica, ...

getting plants to grow longer, deeper roots. It may sound odd, but in fact this feat of genetic engineering has occupied ...

“Refining the technology will mean that researchers can tweak plant gene expression rather than cutting or inserting new bits of DNA,” explains Matsumura. This form of genetic ...

An example is genetically engineered papaya plants in Hawaii, which are resistant to papaya ringspot virus. In the future researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome ...

Risks of genetic engineering: Transfer of the selected gene into other species. What benefits one plant may harm another. Some people believe it is not ethical to interfere with nature in this way.

A recent study provides new insight into the genetic underpinnings of plant climate adaptation. By combining population genetics and global climate data, the researchers identified genetic ...
