Some will claim that genetically engineered, or GE, crops are the solution. But when compared side-by-side, classical plant breeding bests genetic engineering. Coupled with ecologically based ...
Plants' root systems also act as carbon storehouses, which reduce the amount of planet-warming gases in the atmosphere.
Peaches, with their low genetic variability, stand in contrast to their diverse relative, the almond. While both are inter-compatible, producing fertile hybrids, almonds offer a rich source of new ...
A new biotechnical tool, the Genscher CRISPR, is revolutionizing genetic engineering. It is cheap and easy to use and therefore no longer reserved for the big seed or chemical companies. Residue-free, ...
Plant physiological research sits at the core of contemporary agricultural science, particularly in the quest to improve photosynthetic efficiency in field ...
A sufficient majority is emerging among EU countries in favour of allowing some genetically modified food to be sold in ...
