Scientists from Australia have successfully bioengineered genetically modified fruit flies and zebrafish capable of absorbing toxic mercury and releasing it back into the environment in a less harmful ...

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

For the first time, researchers have created genetically modified fruit flies that can become addicted to cocaine. The flies will self-administer cocaine if given the option. The new model could prove ...

Over millennia, there has been a seamless continuum of technologies for genetic modification of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with progressive improvements in precision and predictability – a ...

Strawberries, treasured for their flavor and health benefits, have been at the forefront of breeding programs targeting enhanced sensory and nutritional profiles. Despite advances, the intricate ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest resistance and other valuable traits. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) breeding and the assessment of genetic diversity form a dynamic research field that combines classical and modern biotechnology to meet the rising global demand for ...
