In food crops, methods that introduce genes for desirable traits from other species have seen more opposition than techniques that work more like accelerated versions of conventional plant breeding ...

A Dutch crop technology company has developed a breakthrough method to create stable graft chimeras—plants that combine the ...

A breeder can thus quickly evaluate the plants that are produced and then select those that best express the desired trait. Producing new varieties of crops through genetic engineering takes about ...

But now, in the age of genetic engineering, tobacco may well be the ... Much like the recombinant cells we currently use, plants can also be genetically engineered to produce pharmaceuticals.

An example is genetically engineered papaya plants in Hawaii, which are resistant to papaya ringspot virus. In the future researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome ...

“Refining the technology will mean that researchers can tweak plant gene expression rather than cutting or inserting new bits of DNA,” explains Matsumura. This form of genetic ...

It’s the first comprehensive global analysis of genetic diversity, and it’s not showing good news. Researchers found that biodiversity in two-thirds of animals and plants around the globe was ...
