Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the genome sequence of Aegilops mutica, a wild relative of wheat, shedding light on its genetic diversity and potential use in breeding programs. The study was ...

A study shows how manipulating epigenetic variation in wheat can reveal valuable heritable traits for crop improvement. By ...

The licence for the wheat edit covers the entirety of China, and is valid through May 2029, when it will be up for further renewal. "Plant diseases cause losses of 11-30 per cent in crop ...

Nanotechnology offers a next-gen solution to plant genome editing challenges by enabling precise, efficient delivery of CRISPR, RNA, and DNA tools using nanoparticles like AuNPs, CNTs, and lipid ...

Following these findings, the researchers developed a new hexaploid crop, Tritordeum (AABBII), by replacing wheat’s “D” subgenome with H. brevisubulatum’s I genome. This new crop has ...

Wheat is grown over more land area than any other food crop. Among pathogen-driven threats to wheat, fungi top the list, causing billions of dollars ...

A telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of allohexaploid bread wheat cv. Chinese Spring (CS-IAAS), along with transcriptomic and proteomic data, highlights wheat genome complexity and its ...

This was the first year when Indian cotton imports of 30 lakh bales surpassed exports of 17 lakh bales whereas India, on ...

Following these findings, the team developed a new hexaploid crop, Tritordeum (AABBII), by replacing wheat’s ‘D’ subgenome with H. brevisubulatum’s I genome. This new crop has exhibited a ...
