Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine ...

Chloroplasts—the "light power plants" of plant cells—are increasingly the focus of synthetic biology. These organelles house ...

Scientists at the University of Sheffield are conducting research into natural genetic engineering with a focus on Lateral Gene Transfer to help improve crop resilience to extreme weather.

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought “memories” that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops ...
