Grafting two transgenic plants triggers lateral gene transfer at the graft site but does not elicit long-distance transport of DNA into the scion or root of the graft. Initially Ralph Bock's ...

"This is important for applied research. Now we know that floral scent production is regulated in a similar way in different plants and that the substrate is involved in the regulation of scent ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

that downplay certain differences between cisgenesis and traditional breeding and exaggerate certain similarities between cisgenic and transgenic plants to place the former in a positive light ...

Cutting-edge editing techniques are accelerating efforts to create high-yield, resilient varieties of major agricultural products.

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

This is part of a process by which the safety of transgenic plants is verified before they are publicly distributed or widely planted. Timing is not predictable for any of the agencies, and the EPA ...

In 2001, ProdiGene was a poster child for the plant biotechnology industry. A privately owned biotech in College Station, Texas, ProdiGene was the first to successfully commercialize a product made ...
