Researchers are working on a way to give plants a shot in the arm against diseases. Interestingly, it's not an immunity-boosting vaccine, a spray, or a fertilizer that's being developed but rather an ...

CABBI researchers who developed the FAST-PB pipeline for plant bioengineering pose next to the iBioFAB biofoundry at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

As the global population grows, the demand for food and energy is increasing even as extreme weather events make crops more vulnerable to stress. While traditional breeding takes years to develop more ...

Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health—and allow individual plant interventions—are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture and ...

Locations of the cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and core promoter motifs CCAAT, Y patch, TATA-box, and TSS/Inr within dicot and monocot promoters. Researchers explain how new sequencing methods can ...
