2 days ago · Lose the prickles. Add bioluminescence. Up the nutrients without the bitter flavor. CRISPR gene editing is opening a new world of genetically modified plants for home growers.
4 days ago · All GM crops fall into either the herbicide-tolerant (HT) or insect-resistant (IR) category. These crops play a crucial role in feeding the global population and ensuring food security for a larger number of population. However, the extent to which current assessments of supply-side effects inform food policy and cultivation decisions remains unclear. To advance knowledge in this area, it is ...
2 days ago · For thousands of years, plant breeders have taken advantage of these variations to create high-yielding crop varieties. In 1983, the first genetically modified organisms , or GMOs, appeared in ...
22 hours ago · The focus on crop stress-tolerant products offers the possibility of huge growth for the companies and widespread benefits to farmers and consumers. The model has already been extended to other crops.
1 day ago · Laura Visioni. A highly influential organization of pediatricians is facing blowback over advice it published earlier this year urging parents to avoid foods with ingredients from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are a go-to source for practicing pediatricians and for some parents.
3 days ago · The genus Solanum encompasses economically significant crops, including tomato, potato and eggplant. Descending the taxonomic hierarchy from family to genus, species, subspecies, and variety is associated with a decrease in genetic diversity and an increase in homozygosity. Likewise, prolonged selection of plants favouring yield traits over many generations has narrowed the genetic variation ...

2 days ago · One of the best-known and controversial applications of genetic engineering is the creation and use of genetically modified crops or genetically modified livestock to produce genetically modified food. Crops have been developed to increase production, increase tolerance to abiotic stresses, alter the composition of the food, or to produce novel ...
