Crop yields could be dramatically reduced due to climate change as soon as the 2030s. Researchers have found that with only…
There is a possibility for irrigated crops to be grown in southern Gulf pastoral areas of north Queensland by maximising…
Harvesting existing cropland more frequently could substantially increase global food production without clearing more land…
Researchers have discovered the gene Rph20 provides resistance to leaf rust in some barley variety adult plants. Leaf rust…
A study conducted by both The City University of New York and Rutgers and the State University of New Jersey has developed…
Plants’ genetic networks determine the dormancy of their seeds, new research reveals. If environmental conditions are poor…
Plants receive information through fungal networks that enables them to fight infestation, discovered researchers at the…
Certain types of corn can grow in soil that would kill most plants. A genetic variation in certain strands of corn has meant…
By studying the fertilised seeds of corn, scientists from the University of Colarado Boulder have discovered a form of plant…
Scientists have pinpointed the “stay green” DNA in barley that could be the key to developing crops better able to thrive…
Plant pathologists and chemists have identified the mycotoxin profile associated with an isolated outbreak of Fusarium head…
A new type of wheat bred with a gene that removes sodium from water can outgrow conventional strains by up to 25% in salty soils, Australian scientists have found. The breakthrough by a team from CSIRO…
In a review of past studies researchers have found that 38 of 85 documented plants and animals have shrunk in size due to…
An important cog in the molecular machinery of plant immunity discovered by researchers could help ensure food security…
The continued growth of cropland and loss of natural habitat have increasingly simplified agricultural landscapes. This simplification…
Scientists have unlocked the complex genetic code of the potato, paving the way for new techniques to breed a tougher, more disease-resistant tuber. Potatoes are crucial to global food security but are…
