Researchers from the University of Minnesota published a study earlier this month exploring a new gene cloning method that would make wheat resistant to a fungus that costs the agriculture industry ...

Trait mapping has been indispensable for enhancing crop plants by identifying genomic regions associated with key agronomic ...

In the past, science was a fringe issue for the public. More recently, however, debates over genetically modified food crops, cloning, and stem-cell therapy have stoked public fears. Politicians often ...

Farmers in Minnesota and elsewhere have seen toxins shrivel and kill their wheat crops in recent years. In November, University of Minnesota researchers helped over 100 scientists at universities ...

Genetically encoded resistance is a major component of crop disease management. Historically, gene loci conferring resistance to pathogens have been identified through classical genetic methods. In ...

Feeding a growing world population and adapting to climate change requires a sustainable and diversified food supply system. Orphan crops are usually well-adapted for low-input agricultural conditions ...

With news about Dolly and embryonic stem cells the stuff of cocktail party conversation, cloning a transgenic sheep or cow seems like child's play. The recipe is simple: Insert a pet gene into the ...

This study is reported by Luxiang Liu’s group from the Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural science, Beijing. Wheat production is essential for global food security, and ...
