1 day ago · “This work will be a fantastic source of information for potato geneticists and breeders and will provide a very rich source of data that will facilitate diploid hybrid breeding." An international research team featuring the James Hutton Institute has shed further light on the evolution and biology of potato as a genetically complex global ...
3 days ago · The FDA's approval of gene-edited potatoes for food and feed purposes represents a groundbreaking achievement in the realm of biotechnology. This decision paves the way for the responsible development and deployment of genetically modified crops, addressing global food security challenges and fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
1 day ago · Funds from Project GREEEN have helped Douches land larger, national grants to assist in breeding potatoes at the diploid level. In September 2023, Douches received a $1.14 million USDA NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant to continue his work on developing new varieties and breeding lines for potatoes in the north central U.S.
1 day ago · Genetic analyses of plant disease resistance began soon after the rediscovery of Mendel’s Laws of inheritance with the report that resistance to rust fungal pathogens in wheat was conferred by single semi-dominant disease Resistance (R) genes. 6 The phenotype of disease resistance or susceptibility depended not only on the host but also on the genotype of the pathogen; some but not all races ...
1 day ago · An Indian technology company, JK Agrigenetics has been contacted for Bt-cotton and the first Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) crop trial was started in Ethiopia. Following this, voices against biotechnology evolved. Civic societies and consumer associations have begun using private media advocating against biotechnology in the country.
3 days ago · Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), are living things, that include microorganisms, animals, or plants, whose genetic makeup has been intentionally changed in a laboratory setting through the use of biotechnological methods like genetic engineering. Citation 18 GM crops are created from plants that have undergone genetic alterations.
