Researchers show new holistic approach to genetics and plant breeding

A group of researchers has discovered a new approach to cereal plant breeding that takes into account the internal "calculator" of plant seeds that makes them continuously reorganise themselves (global coherence). The approach includes unforeseen and unintended changes in the…

Flowering rooted in embryonic gene-regulation

Researchers determine that gene-regulatory mechanisms at an early embryonic stage govern the flowering behavior of Arabidopsis later in development.

Shedding light on the long and the short of plant growth

What keeps some plants squatting close to the soil while others – even those closely related – reach high for the skies? New research addressing the architecture and growth habit of plants has provided an answer to this question and…

Breakthrough in plant protection: RNAi pesticides affect only one pest species

The detrimental impact of pesticides on non-target organisms is one of the most urgent concerns in current agriculture. Double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) represent the most species-specific class of pesticides to date, potentially allowing control of a target pest without effecting other…
