Climate change is impacting food production globally. With an ever-increasing global population and changing diets, the demand for pulses and grain legumes is rising swiftly. In the mixed and agro- ...

Induced mutagenesis has emerged as a pivotal tool in plant biology, enabling the deliberate generation of genetic variation to elucidate gene function and drive crop improvement. By employing chemical ...

This research provides a comprehensive analysis of deleterious mutations in pear (Pyrus spp.) during domestication, shedding light on their impact on agronomic traits. By resequencing 232 pear ...

Strawberries are notoriously soft and highly perishable, posing challenges to global production. Recent research has identified a genetic breakthrough that could help cultivate firmer strawberries ...

Picture juicy red tomatoes on the vine. What do you see? Some tomato varieties have straight vines. Others are branched. The question is why. New research from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) ...

Most plants can reproduce both sexually (through flowers and seed) but many important crops, such as potatoes and strawberry, are propagated vegetatively, e.g. through tubers or shoots. A new study of ...

E. & J. Gallo Winery patented a method for producing a white-fruited grapevine with a non-VvMybA1 mutation, allowing for new grape colors and flavor combinations. The method involves breeding specific ...
