Plant engineering method promises to dramatically improve biofuel and bioproduct development
The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes damaging tumors in flowering plants ...
Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...
A team of plant biotechnologists led by Gunvant Patil at Texas Tech University has developed a groundbreaking method that could dramatically speed up the development of regeneration process and ...
Researchers at Cranfield University are working on a new project to speed up genetic engineering in plants, accelerating innovations that will improve crops around the world. Focusing on the tomato ...
