Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a ...

Structural variations drive plant genome evolution and shape agronomic traits. Manipulating structural variations has great potential to improve complex plant traits and enhance agricultural ...

Precise manipulation of genome structural variations holds great potential for plant trait improvement and biological research. Here we present a genome-editing approach, dual prime editing (DualPE), ...

Humans love to play with their food—in fact, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we explore how we’ve learned to manipulate plant genetics, from ...

These approaches, collectively known as T-DNA-free genome editing, allow scientists to modify crop traits while avoiding the persistent transgenic sequences often associated with conventional CRISPR ...

In a development that could help protect one of the world's most beloved agricultural commodities, a research team at Penn State has successfully created disease-resistant cacao plants using ...

For the first time, a team of researchers from Stellenbosch University (SU) and the Agricultural Research Council has successfully edited the DNA of a woody crop plant in Africa by making precise ...

In a rapidly changing climate landscape, the plants we rely on for food, textiles and more face a multitude of challenges, ...

The ancient trick of grafting one plant onto another could find a very modern use – enabling gene editing of plants that are very difficult or impossible to edit by other means. “It is still at the ...

Scientists discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...
