In the plant world, when two different species mate, their offspring often don't survive. The reason lies in their DNA: ...
This comprehensive book covers the underlying scientific principles, state of the art technologies and methodologies of plant mutagenesis. It covers historical development and commonly used ...
The induction of polyploidy in plants represents a transformative approach in modern plant breeding, aimed at overcoming the genetic limitations inherent in many crop species. Polyploidisation, which ...
Plant genetics and breeding are at the heart of sustainable agriculture, food security, and biodiversity conservation. As global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and shifting ...
In this episode, we’ll explore how we’ve created and used genetically modified organisms. Humans love to play with their food—in fact, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years. In this episode of ...
As erratic rain and heat stress disrupt planting and harvests, Prof. Margaret Smith, plant breeding and genetics, believes hybrids, genetic diversity and adaptive management must work together to ...
The University of Florida will now host the USDA-funded Breeding Insight program. Breeding Insight uses AI and advanced computing to accelerate the development of new crops and animal breeds. UF was ...
In an article published in Molecular Plant on April 8, researchers led by Prof. Wang Bing and Prof. Li Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of ...
The course is currently under testing phase.An e-learning course on induced genetic variation for crop improvementThe objective of this training course is:To provide an overview of mutation breeding ...
AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...
Four Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Soil and Crop Sciences plant breeding program development projects have been funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s ...
