From time to time, plant mutations are not maintained, resulting in a phenomenon called reversion.

All living organisms are known to inherit genes, DNA sequences that contain instructions for producing specific proteins and ...

Plant genetics and breeding are at the heart of sustainable agriculture, food security, and biodiversity conservation. As global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and shifting ...

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions. This challenge is especially urgent for crops—plants resilient to drought and ...

Mary-Dell Chilton, Ph.D., an American pioneer in plant sciences known as the “Queen of the Agrobacterium,” died on June 24, ...

"It's really important to look across the plant kingdom because plants have solved so many problems already. Why not read their genomes like a book and try to understand it and solve the problems ...

The new study led by Alexandre Marand reveals previously hidden information about the activity of genes inside different cell types. This provides essential context that helps better understand how ...

Unraveling the genetic mysteries of alpine plants, a pioneering study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the medicinal herb Triplostegia glandulifera. The research uncovers the plant's ...

New University of Delaware faculty member Jesus Beltran grew up in a small town in Colombia. He was always fascinated by nature and agriculture. The South American town depended on coffee plantations, ...
