The Tibetan highlands have a special significance both as a grazing ecosystem and global carbon store. Furthermore, they play a key role in the formation of the monsoon and supply of potable water for a fifth of the…
Malnutrition in developing countries is best addressed not by increasing the variety of crops grown on smallholder farms, but by improving access to markets. This is the conclusion of a recent study by the MwAPATA…
Almost one billion people are still living without access to reliable and affordable electricity. Knowing where these people are is crucial if aid and infrastructure are to reach them. A new study led by the…
A serendipitous discovery has led researchers from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya and the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland to identify a genetic marker that…
Even the modification of a single gene can influence an entire ecosystem, as researchers have found out with a genetic-ecological experiment. In the experiment, mutation of just one plant gene simultaneously transformed…
In a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 500 wheat varieties, researchers in Germany have identified 14 gene locations associated with constantly low yield losses caused by the wheat dwarf virus. These so-called…
In 2010-2019, average annual global greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels in human history, but the rate of growth has slowed. However, without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors,…
Scientists from Singapore and Malaysia have derived oils from microalgae that could replace palm oil in food production. This oil contains more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can help reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol levels…
The African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) aims to sequence the genomes of more than 100,000 African endemic species. It is an effort by African scientists to safeguard African biodiversity while bringing genomics and…
Scientists have produced a map showing where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximise yield and minimise environmental impact. This would capture large amounts of carbon, increase biodiversity, and cut…
