Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a tool that can be used to switch a plant's key genetic traits on or ...

A new discovery by scientists could help protect crop production and reduce plant mortality due to drought, which accounts for a quarter of U.S. crop production losses.

The biosynthesis of the great variety of natural plant products has not yet been elucidated for many medically interesting substances. In a new study, an international team of researchers was able to ...

In each location studied, the research teams analysed all the plant species present in different habitats to identify dark diversity. This innovative methodology for studying biodiversity made it ...

The study results were published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal. Deep learning methods have become increasingly crucial in genomic prediction in recent years. In contrast to conventional ...

In a recent study published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, researchers showed that some spinach defensins can confer similar protection to citrus and potatoes -- and possibly other crops.

New research out of Finland is challenging the concept that all processed plant-based foods are unhealthy. The groundbreaking study reveals that food processing methods greatly affect the health value ...

We are researchers at different research institutions with expertise in plant biotechnology. We have worked together for nearly 20 years in Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Australia and the United ...

With my background in agriculture—growing up on an almond ranch in California and studying the field throughout my career—I recognize delivery as a major bottleneck in plant biotechnology.

Once inside the leaf (Fig. 1), microplastics move through spaces between plant cells and can also accumulate inside tiny hair-like structures, called trichomes, on the surface of leaves.
