Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering is poised to help biopharma realize the potential benefits of commercial-scale, plant-based protein production, according to a leading researcher. The idea of making therapeutic ...

Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University ...

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

A recent study has identified microRNA396 (miR396) as a pivotal negative regulator of shoot regeneration in tomatoes, marking a significant advancement in plant genetic engineering. This discovery ...

A team of plant biotechnologists at Texas Tech University has unveiled a breakthrough that could transform how gene-edited crops are developed. The new method, led by associate professor Gunvant Patil ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...
