The development of plant genetic engineering lags behind the development of animal genetic engineering. Plant cells differ from animal cells in several aspects, a major one being that, in addition to ...

Applications in crop engineering and plant biology studies could also benefit. “For example, in the future, we may be able to engineer crops that are resistant to diseases or droughts by delivering ...

A Clemson University master’s student in Plant and Environmental Sciences is helping shape the future of cotton farming ...

Plants’ successful growth and production often hinge on specific environmental and genetic conditions. This is a reality agricultural producers have become accustomed to that is now threatened with ...

Ancient events in plant evolution have left behind large, duplicated regions in their genomes. Salk Institute scientists found that deleting these large blocks of DNA can still lead to normal plants.

Metabolomics and metabolic engineering are at the forefront of modern plant science, offering powerful avenues to understand and manipulate plant ...

This paper reviews the most significant achievements of the genetic engineering approach to improving plant abiotic stress resistance and discusses future prospects in transgenic research.

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

Here are just a few examples of what is being done. They have added a bacteria-based insecticide called Bt to the genes of corn and other plants so that they will resist rootworm, borers and ...

A Stanford University team led by associate professor of chemical engineering Elizabeth Sattely is developing genetically engineered plants that can better absorb iron from the soil. By making it ...
