Researchers have uncovered a genetic anomaly in tomato plants, revealing a "parallel universe" where sticky defense sugars, called acylsugars, are found in both leaves and roots. This discovery not only sheds light on plant evolution but also offers insights for…

Researchers have enhanced CRISPR, enabling precise insertion of large gene segments into higher plant DNA efficiently. By adding an exonuclease to CRISPR, they prevent DNA repair enzymes from interfering, increasing successful gene insertions. This method promises advanced plant breeding and…

Researchers utilize AI to engineer plants combatting climate change. Deep learning software, SLEAP, analyzes plant traits, expediting the design of carbon-capturing plants. By optimizing root systems, plants draw more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Bioscientists contribute to a global study, creating a comprehensive "tree of life" for flowering plants, including crucial insights into the evolution of cruciferous plants. Drawing from extensive botanical collections and genetic analyses, researchers shed light on plant origins and relationships,…
