Recent research has shown that rising carbon dioxide levels will likely boost yields, but at the cost of nutrition. A new study in Plant Journal from the University of Illinois, U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), and Donald Danforth Plant Science Center suggests that this is an incomplete picture of the complex environmental interactions that… Continue reading Rising temperatures may safeguard crop nutrition as climate changes
Salk researchers have mapped the genomes and epigenomes of genetically modified plant lines with the highest resolution ever to reveal exactly what happens at a molecular level when a piece of foreign DNA is inserted. Their findings, published in the journal PLOS Genetics on January 18, 2019, elucidate the routine methods used to modify plants, and offer… Continue reading New technologies enable better-than-ever details on genetically modified plants
Researchers believe the mystery gene that triggers the mutant red pigments in corn may be a “master regulator” responsible for an over-accumulation of sugars in the leaves and an increase in a natural insecticide in the silk. – Credit: Surinder Chopra Research Group/Penn State In discovering a mutant gene that “turns on” another gene responsible… Continue reading Unraveling of 58-year-old corn gene mystery may have plant-breeding implications
Plant breeding is strictly a numbers game — but researchers have found a way to improve the odds with help from a new tool called a ‘breeder chip.’ “Breeding is like a lottery. The more tickets you buy, the greater the chance of success,” said Curtis Pozniak, a professor of plant sciences and wheat breeder… Continue reading Wheat breeders get a cheat sheet
Why are South Africa and Sudan ahead of every other country on the continent when it comes to biotech? The answer is simple. The nations realized early on that they needed to embrace new technologies to develop faster maturing and better yielding disease-resistant and drought-tolerant crop varieties to counter a changing climate and soils rapidly… Continue reading Why South Africa and Sudan lead the continent in GMO crops
A new bioengineering approach for boosting photosynthesis in rice plants could increase grain yield by up to 27%, according to a study publishing January 10 in the journal Molecular Plant. The approach, called GOC bypass, enriches plant cells with CO2 that would otherwise be lost through a metabolic process called photorespiration. The genetically engineered plants were… Continue reading Rice plants engineered to be better at photosynthesis make more rice
Researchers from the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Plant Biology of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and the Superior Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) have shown that an aroma emitted by tomatoes can protect other crops from infections or drought. According to the study, which has been published in the journal “Frontiers in Plant… Continue reading A tomato aroma could protect the crops against bacteria
When it gets hot outside, humans and animals have the luxury of seeking shelter in the shade or cool, air-conditioned buildings. But plants are stuck. While not immune to changing climate, plants respond to the rising mercury in different ways. Temperature affects the distribution of plants around the planet. It also affects the flowering time,… Continue reading Scientists identify how plants sense temperature
China approved five genetically modified crops for import on Tuesday, the first in about 18 months, as representatives from the Asian country and the United States met in face-to-face talks to try to resolve trade disagreements. Five other products, whose makers are known to be seeking approval of, were not given the green light by… Continue reading China approves new GMO soybean, corn and canola traits
China customs has announced it will allow imports of U.S. rice and industry leaders are waiting for the first orders. The move is part of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Protocol signed between the United States and China from July 2017. USA Rice CEO and President Betsy Ward told Talk Business & Politics the ongoing trade… Continue reading China inches towards allowing U.S. rice sales
