A PLOS ONE study claiming to have jacked up the essential crop with a gene to allow the plant to produce protein is retracted.
Manufactured nanomaterials, such as those found in cosmetics and fuel, affect soil productivity and food quality of soybean crops.
A nuclear war could have profound effects on crops yields around the world, according to a new study.
One way to increase biofuel production is to engineer plants that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, thereby expanding the range in which such crops can be grown. Plants that can tolerate drought, for example, may be grown in the 600 milli
Of the many available no- or low-carbon methods to harvest energy, including wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and solar approaches, conversion of plant biomass to liquid fuels is the most cost-effective strategy, currently contributing 78 percent of
Research is underway to reduce the use of food crops for biofuels by shifting to dedicated energy crops and agricultural residues.
How plants pass defenses to offspring through a complex molecular network
Infested plants pass on a defense memory of pests and pathogens to help the next generation withstand invasions.
