Canada has made a “small amount” of new canola seed sales to China, but exports to Canada’s biggest canola customer aren’t back to normal. Not even close. “We are aware of a small amount of (canola seed) sales that have occurred (to China),” Brian Innes, the Canola Council of Canada’s vice-president of communications said in… Continue reading New Canadian canola seed sales made to China
In any eukaryotic organism, the DNA in a cell exists not as a loose strand, but as a highly condensed complex that consists of DNA and other proteins known as histones. Overall, this condensed structure is referred to as chromatin, and this packaging is important for maintaining the integrity of DNA structure and sequence. However,… Continue reading Scientists crack the code to improve stress tolerance in plants
Maize growers in Queensland and northern New South Wales could dramatically improve yields and water use efficiency by rethinking their approach to hybrid selection, row configuration and population density. A three-year research project conducted by the Queensland Alliance for Food Innovation (QAAFI) and NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) found that yield increases of up… Continue reading Australia – Maize research highlights yield increase potential
Dive Brief: A World Resources Institute report published July 17 said urgent changes in the global food system are needed to make sure there is enough food for an estimated 10 billion people by 2050. To reach this goal, the 564-page report said a number of adjustments have to be made, including ramping up the use… Continue reading Study: GMOs are needed to feed the planet in 2050
China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans and represented 65 percent of global soybean imports in 2017. Soybeans are the most prominent agricultural commodity exported to China by both the United States and Brazil. 2017, prior to the Chinese government’s implementation of tariffs on U.S. soybeans, exports of soybeans were valued at $12.3 billion… Continue reading USDA: Soybeans accounted for majority of US, Brazil’s agricultural exports to China
Protecting crops from pests and pathogens without using toxic pesticides has been a longtime goal of farmers. Researchers at Boyce Thompson Institute have found that compounds from an unlikely source — microscopic soil roundworms — could achieve this aim. As described in research published in the May 2019 issue of Journal of Phytopathology, these compounds helped… Continue reading Researchers found worm pheromones could protect major crops
A rice gene that renders the crop resistant to several widely used beta-triketone herbicides has been identified, researchers report, revealing the genetic cause of herbicide susceptibility that has been identified in some important rice varieties. The newly discovered gene may be useful in breeding new herbicide-resistant crops. Rice is a staple food for more than… Continue reading Newly identified rice gene confers multiple-herbicide resistance
Researchers of the Institute of the Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants (IBMCP), mixed centre of Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), have identified a double mechanism, of inhibition and degradation, to regulate the response of plants to drought. The results of this research, which increases available knowledge on how… Continue reading Researchers identify double mechanism that regulates how plants react to drought
Research into disease resistance at WUR has apparently involved the testing of around 20,000 individual plants (Photo: Fernando Alexander García-Bastidas) The international banana industry is apparently a major step closer to salvation after scientists revealed they are closer than ever to developing fruit that is immune to TR4, a strain of the fungal disease fusarium… Continue reading Scientists identify TR4-resistant bananas
Conventional crop breeding was about selection and crossing of plants within the same genus, to produce offspring with the desired traits of both parents. Even in the Green Revolution, the dwarfing genes that Norman Borlaug used for developing high-yielding wheat plants with shorter and stronger stalks — allowing them to bear the weight of the… Continue reading GM crops in India: farmers clear, politics muddled
