A collaborative research team led by QIAN Wenfeng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University has developed a plant gene ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Identify research insights to guide ...

Plants grow best when genetics inside cells cooperate, while mismatched genetics reduce photosynthesis and climate resilience ...

Researchers have published a simple trick that improves the accuracy of techniques that help us understand how external variables -- such as temperature -- affect gene activity in plants. Researchers ...

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 ...

Carnivorous plants are amazing, and researchers have spent a long time learning about their impressive abilities. Now scientists have found evidence that these mechanisms originated as defense ...

Plants often develop communities with microorganisms in their roots, which influences plant health and development. Although the recruitment of these microbes is dictated by several factors, it is ...

In recent years, scientists have shown that parents can pass down more than just their DNA sequences to their offspring; they can also pass down epigenetic marks like chemical tags or structural ...

Innovative plant breeding programmes using safe and proven nuclear techniques are vital for enhancing food security and sustainable agriculture. For nearly 60 years, the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of ...
