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.

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 ...

Unintentional genetic engineering - grafted plants trade genes Discover how genetically modifying plants through grafting merges genetic traits and challenges natural gene transfer beliefs.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
