A recent study has reported a novel breeding strategy to rapidly create climate-smart crops that show higher yield under normal conditions and greatly rescue yield losses under heat stress both in ...

CEN/CEN4 CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing for fast maturity in diverse Actinidia spp. In conclusion, the combined strategies of CRISPR-Cas9 editing of CEN genes, expression of tagged FT, manipulation of ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

As the climate crisis intensifies, traditional genetic breeding alone may not keep pace with the rapid shifts in environmental stressors. While the ...

Plant science research has increasingly shifted focus toward understanding the complex mechanisms that enable crops to withstand abiotic stresses such as ...

For the first time, researchers have identified a gene that controls flowering in cacao, a discovery that may help accelerate breeding efforts aimed at improving the disease-ridden plant, they ...
