University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions.

Plants are under immense pressure to adapt to climate change, crucial for crop resilience. A study reveals genetic insights ...

collect individual seed pods of genetically modified Arabidopsis plants to help assay the genetic changes leading to higher seed oil content. News organizations may use this image in reports about ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

the research team used CRISPR/Cas-based chromosome engineering to generate chromosomal inversions of different sizes in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The epigenetic state of these lines ...
