Humans love to play with their food—in fact, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we explore how we’ve learned to manipulate plant genetics, from ...

The ideal crop plant is tasty and high-yielding while also being resistant to diseases and pests. But if the relevant genes are far apart on a chromosome, some of these positive traits can be lost ...

The "Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market for Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants was valued at ...

Aberystwyth University scientists are developing new artificial intelligence tools that automatically measure plant seed and seed pods in order to breed better crop varieties. Subscribe to our ...

Not exactly genetic modification, a new approach combines plant breeding and insights into cotton’s genome to help ensure you can have jeans in the future. Products derived from the cotton plant show ...

A simple breeding experiment, combined with genetic analysis, can rapidly uncover genes that promote cooperation and higher yields of plant populations, according to a new study. The results have the ...

When different varieties of one plant species are crossed with each other, their hybrid offspring are often more robust and grow more quickly than their parents. However, in the next generation, this ...

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 ...

An international research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne (MPIPZ) has developed a new and very precise ...

A variety of hemp plant genetically modified to produce little-to-no THC has been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture as safe to grow and breed on U.S. soil. The USDA’s Animal and ...
