Inserting or tweaking genes in plants is more art than science, but with a new technique, scientists could make genetically engineering any type of plant - in particular, gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9 ...

Scientists have achieved the first DNA-free CRISPR gene editing in raspberries, reaching 19% efficiency and opening the door to faster breeding of firmer, more resilient berries — though regenerating ...

Genetically engineered versions of these plants are already on the market, but a simplified technique could speed the introduction of new and beneficial genes.

Both techniques are very different to conventional genetic engineering methods – such as biolistics (which is done by firing genes into plant tissue) or delivering genes using infectious bacteria.

Among the bigger successes of genetic engineering are genetically modified plants. In fact, such plants have revolutionized agriculture by enhancing food production and going a long way in ...

A team of bacteriologists and plant scientists discuss the possibility of using genetic engineering to facilitate mutualistic relationships between plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes called ...

Genetically engineering plants is a time-intensive process. Methods currently used to deliver genetic changes are imprecise, so it’s often necessary to generate thousands of plants to find one ...

Genetic engineering is poised to help biopharma realize the potential benefits of commercial-scale, plant-based protein production, according to a leading researcher.

The glow from the plants is too faint to see on video, but it can be captured with a still camera with a long exposure. "Really the goal of the Glowing Plant project was to create a product that ...

For centuries, farmers have been genetically modifying their plants without even knowing it. Grafting, a common technique used to fuse parts of two plants together, causes the two halves to swap ...

Plant genetic engineering to fight 'hidden hunger' Date: October 16, 2020 Source: University of Göttingen Summary: More than two billion people worldwide suffer from micronutrient malnutrition ...
