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 ...

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader—Agrobacterium—long used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

Climate change and an accelerated population growth impose a major threat to crop production around the world. In order to ensure food availability and minimise the environmental impact associated ...

MicroRNA396 has been identified as a negative regulator of shoot regeneration in tomatoes, unlocking possibilities for plant genetic engineering. Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of ...

Once a defining tree of eastern forests, the American chestnut was nearly erased by a foreign fungus within a few human generations. A genetically engineered line known as Darling 54 has now pushed ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...
