Spaceflight presents a distinctive set of challenges for plant biology, as microgravity, cosmic radiation and limited resource availability impose conditions vastly different from those on Earth.

The field of plant biotechnology has quickly evolved with the advent of CRISPR-mediated gene editing, fundamentally transforming the exploration and ...

The United States and Mexico have been in a historic megadrought since the turn of the century. For more than 25 years, the ...

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform.

Moonyoung Kang and Hai Anh Vu examine a microwell plate containing individual cells. These cells are used for simultaneous single-cell RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis. A research team at ...

As climate pressure mounts, new platforms tackle delivery, regulation, trait stacking, and data bottlenecks limiting agricultural genome editing.
