Researchers have discovered how a protein in plant roots controls the uptake of minerals and water, a finding which could improve the tolerance of agricultural crops to climate change and reduce the need for chemical…
To make cyanide-free cassava a reality, researchers at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) in Berkeley, USA, are using CRISPR genome editing to block the production of cyanide.
New plant breeding technologies (NPBTs), including genetically modified and gene‐edited crops, offer large potentials for sustainable agricultural development and food security. A study by an agricultural economist of…
Recent research indicates that neglecting the “unruly” family members of cultivated vegetable crops imperils future food security and our resilience to climate change.
An article in our 3/2019 edition focusing on “Plant breeding for food security” examined the potential of New Plant Breeding Technologies such as CRISPR/Cas. However, our authors maintain that important aspects were…
Plants make up 80 per cent of our food but are under constant and increasing threat from pests and diseases. Promoting plant health is critical for reaching the SDGs; protecting plants from pests and diseases is far…
Experts have unlocked the key to photosynthesis, a find that could help us meet food security demands. The study shows how an electrical reaction in protein complex cytochrome b6f provides the energy that plants need to…
Swiss researchers in cooperation with the CGIAR centre CIAT are involved in the development and implementation of a method to efficiently breed for disease-resistant beans in different regions of the world. Their work…
Since seed patterns have to be regularly tested for germinability, seed bank management is complicated. Now scientists at the University of Osnabrück/Germany have developed an efficient germination test.
A new line of barley achieves good crop yields even under poor environmental conditions. A research team at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Germany, crossed a common variety with various types of wild…
