For centuries, farmers have bred plants for traits such as taste, resilience and yield. The development of Next-Generation Sequencing, a visual technology, utilizing fluorescence imaging to explore ...

Cibus, Inc. announced significant advancements in its gene editing technology, particularly the establishment of production standards for its proprietary RTDS gene editing system, which enables the ...

AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...

A reliable method for producing plants that carry genetic material from only one of their parents has been discovered by plant biologists. The technique could dramatically speed up the breeding of ...

The University of Florida will now host the USDA-funded Breeding Insight program. Breeding Insight uses AI and advanced computing to accelerate the development of new crops and animal breeds. UF was ...

VIB and UGent scientists have developed a new method which allows them to predict the final size of a plant while it is still a seedling. Thanks to this method, which is based on the knowledge that a ...

Resistance breeding is an important strategy for reducing crop losses caused by disease. The innate immune system allows plants to recognize their pathogens, often providing strong levels of ...

Anyone who has sampled a pink-fleshed, flavorless, store-bought tomato can tell you that taste isn’t exactly our food system’s No. 1 priority. That’s why chefs could contribute a lot to the world of ...

Scientists have developed a new method that allows them to predict the final size of a plant while it is still a seedling. Thanks to this method, which is based on the knowledge that a set of genes is ...
