Australia's first genetically modified banana has been tweaked to protect it from a disease that's on the verge of wiping out ...

Scientists in Britain and Japan have unveiled a fast-track way toward breeding crops with higher yields or resistance to climate change. Early beneficiaries should be Japanese farmers who need ...

Genetic modification of plant and organelle genomes sometimes results in retained greeness during leaf senescence in plants. These phenomena are referred to as stay-green. Now that our knowledge on ...

THE University of the Philippines Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) recently organized a campaign focused on genetic modification (GM) and gene editing (GE) research in the country, as well as on ...

Genetic defects are exceedingly common, which is not surprising considering just how many cells make up our bodies, including our reproductive cells. While most of these defects have no or only minor ...

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. Rather than ...
