As molecular plant pathology research ... we are studying several gene products, regulatory regions of genes to control expression (promoters), and the possibility of combining two or more genes ...

Farmers may use similar gene-silencing sprays to boost yields, make their crops more nutritious, protect them from droughts and trigger ripening. The technique could let us change plant traits ...

The study, published in Science, highlights how a gene transfer between fungi and early plants helped these organisms adapt to terrestrial environments, sparking the development of Earth’s first ...

Northeastern University researchers resurrected an extinct plant gene, turning back the evolutionary clock to pave a path forward for the development and discovery of new drugs. Specifically ...

A professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Georgia has discovered a gene that, when manipulated, increases the growth of biofuel plants. Debra Mohnen found that ...
