The guava plant is of the Myrtaceae family and originates ... principally because of environmental factors, as well as genetic factors that can induce modifications in the secondary metabolism of the ...

The science to modify animal genomes has been developed and tested in controlled lab settings. Animals with heritable genetic modifications are not widely raised by conventional farmers in the United ...

Scientists have identified new gene modifications that can make tomatoes and eggplants grow bigger, which could help boost yields in developing countries. Humans have been genetically engineering ...

Bigger, tastier tomatoes and eggplants could soon grace our dinner plates thanks to Johns Hopkins scientists who have discovered genes that control how large the fruits will grow. The research—led by ...

A novel approach in plant genetics promises to herald a ... The new approach simplifies genetic modification besides making it faster — an advantage over traditional processes of crop genetic ...

Their findings were published in Nature Plants. In nature, gene inheritance typically follows Mendel's laws, which provide an equal chance for alleles to pass on to the next generation—a ...

“Genetic modification or editing of plants has a very high technological barrier because it involves a lot of very specialised, precise operations and is inefficient – and currently only a ...

In some other plants we would be able to use genetic modification tools to do this, but for various reasons this is difficult in lupins. Instead, we went to a company called Traitomic who screened ...

Guava is a tropical fruit that grows in dry or humid heat. Both the fleshy fruit of the guava plant and the leaves are edible, with the fruit most often eaten as a snack and the leaves commonly ...

A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The development is expected to revolutionize how agricultural crops ...

BRUSSELS, Feb 7 (Reuters) - In-vitro plant gene editing techniques that are used conventionally and have a long safety record are excluded from EU laws restricting the use of genetically modified ...
