(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...

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 ...

KIT researchers succeeded for the first time in reducing the number of chromosomes in a plant using the CRISPR/Cas method – surprisingly without affecting its growth The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors ...

Researchers have engineered Arabidopsis plants that emit visible light when their immune defenses switch on, creating a living sensor that tracks how plants fight pathogens in real time. The work, ...
