There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...
More than two billion people worldwide suffer from micronutrient malnutrition due to deficiencies in minerals and vitamins. Poor people in developing countries are most affected, as their diets are ...
Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work is ...
An artist's view of nanotubes entering plant cells. Courtesy: M Landry, UC Berkeley Carbon nanotubes can be used as tools to more easily deliver genes into plant cell nuclei and chloroplasts, say two ...
(Nanowerk News) Inserting or tweaking genes in plants is more art than science, but a new technique developed by University of California, Berkeley, scientists could make genetically engineering any ...

If you are new to this series, I’ve been trying to break down the competing claims about genetic engineering. I’m not an expert: When I told a friend I was writing about GMOs he asked, “So are you for ...
It is a fairly common occurrence for couples to have differing opinions of what to put on the dinner table — no two people can always agree on the same foods. Rarely, however, does a couple work at ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...
