Genetic modification in horticultural crops, particularly within the Cucurbitaceae family, is often hindered by complex tissue culture requirements and environmental pressures such as climate change.

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant breeding can select for desirable traits, but is limited by the genetic ...

A research team has reviewed significant progress in understanding the growth and stress response mechanisms in bermudagrass, a widely distributed and valuable grass species. This review highlights ...

Plants exhibit a remarkable capacity for self-repair and regeneration, a process crucial for adapting to environmental changes and underpinned by cellular totipotency or pluripotency. Apple is one of ...

A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and cultivated rice, and decoded the genetic architecture and diversity of rice. This study, published online in Nature on April 16, ...

A research team has created gene-edited crops without using tissue culture. A team of plant biotechnologists led by Gunvant Patil at Texas Tech University (TX, USA) has developed a groundbreaking ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...
