Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest resistance and other valuable traits. That technology, which loads genetic ...

Plant biotechnology can be defined as the introduction of desirable traits into plants through genetic modification.

For the first time, researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genome-scale technology that makes it possible to reveal the role of genes and traits in plants previously hidden by ...

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has reopened a comment period on a proposal to add five exemptions to plant modifications that could be achieved through conventional breeding, ...

Scientists have taken a close look at what happens on the molecular level when DNA is inserted into the genome of a plant. They determined the genetic sequence and epigenetic features of plants that ...

ITHACA, NY, August 4, 2020 -- RNA perform a variety of functions in cells, helping with everything from regulating genes to building proteins. In recent years, it has become clear that chemical ...

Researchers have revealed a previously unknown way plants shape their growth in response to light — a breakthrough that could better equip crops to handle environmental stress. In a first-of-its-kind ...
