Discovered genes provide strategies to protect rice crops against climate change ... traits that maximize profit have reduced its genetic diversity and thus its resilience to environmental stresses.

In this study, the researchers sequenced 145 rice genomes—including 129 wild accessions and 16 cultivated varieties—selected for their geographic and genetic diversity. Primarily using ...

Chinese scientists have successfully genetically modified rice to produce coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an essential molecule for human health. This breakthrough could revolutionize nutritional approaches by ...

WASHINGTON — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.

But the path to extinction erodes genetic diversity, because a species’ gene pool shrinks as the population declines. Losing genetic diversity limits the ability of populations to adapt to threats ...
