Sep 20, 2023 · Investigators tested the effect of 1,671 genes, taken from 47 species, on yield, nitrogen use, water use and other traits in maize. Only 1% of these genes (22 genes) increased yield enough in...
Feb 23, 2018 · The results showed that 15 crops were studied for the application of CRISPR. The most studied crop has been rice, followed by tobacco, Arabidopsis and corn. The majority of CRISPR applications were to improve crop yields, followed by improved nutrient content (biofortification) and tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses.
Nov 4, 2019 · Now, researchers have for the first time shown they can reliably increase corn yields up to 10% by changing a gene that increases plant growth—regardless of whether growing conditions are poor or optimal. "It's incredible," says Kan Wang, a molecular biologist at Iowa State University in Ames who was not involved in the new study.
Dec 13, 2017 · The global yearly net income increased by 34.3% in 2010–2012. 13, 14 Furthermore, while increasing global yield by 22%, GM crops reduced pesticide (active ingredient) usage by 37% and environmental impact (insecticide and herbicide use) by 18%. 15 To achieve the same yield standards more than 300 million acres of conventional crops would have ...
