Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine their genes and the extent to which this process is influenced by ...

Chloroplasts—the "light power plants" of plant cells—are increasingly the focus of synthetic biology. These organelles house ...

Scientists at the University of Sheffield are conducting research into natural genetic engineering with a focus on Lateral Gene Transfer to help improve crop resilience to extreme weather.

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought “memories” that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops ...

This study reports the first in plant synthesis of luminescent and photo-responsive lignin by genetically engineering poplar ...

Some scientists looking to preserve vulnerable species have turned to a controversial technique: synthetic biology. This catchall term often means... Should genetically engineered species roam free?

The tendency to use cannabis is associated with genes linked to impulsive behavior, obesity, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, among other traits, according to a study released Monday by researchers ...

Plants Vs Brainrots is the latest high-concept mash-up game taking Roblox by storm. Gone are the simpler times when Roblox creators would merely attempt to re-enact their favourite anime series in ...
