The genetic material of a plant is altered in a way that does not occur naturally by crossing or natural recombination, sometimes with foreign DNA (transgenic breeding or transgenesis). The genome of ...

A team from the University of Illinois has determined that improving a key component of soybean photosynthesis is unlikely to ...

Responses to genetic engineering in plant breeding have been fundamentally different. Framed as 'genetically modified organisms' (GMOs), transgenic crops have encountered a restructuring of global ...

Transgenic plant lines containing independent transgenes and independent transgenic insertion events are backcrossed and evaluated at a number of different breeding locations. Within this process ...

What’s really exciting about gene editing is precision and speed, says Pairwise cofounder and CEO Tom Adams, PhD.

The Swiss government has launched consultations on a draft law on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and new breeding technologies to reduce pesti ...
