Scientists have achieved the first DNA-free CRISPR gene editing in raspberries, reaching 19% efficiency and opening the door to faster breeding of firmer, more resilient berries — though regenerating ...

Unintentional genetic engineering - grafted plants trade genes Discover how genetically modifying plants through grafting merges genetic traits and challenges natural gene transfer beliefs.

A team of bacteriologists and plant scientists discuss the possibility of using genetic engineering to facilitate mutualistic relationships between plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes called ...

Genetic engineering is poised to help biopharma realize the potential benefits of commercial-scale, plant-based protein production, according to a leading researcher.

Empyrean Neuroscience Inc. has announced its launch as a genetic engineering company dedicated to developing fungi- and plant-based therapeutics for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and ...

Follow-up experiments saw a model plant called Arabidopsis thaliana receive the same treatment, which boosted the oil content in its seeds by 15 to 18% compared to controls.

Using genome editing in tomatoes and Arabidopsis, researchers created over 70 mutant plants. They explored the regulatory regions up- and downstream of CLV3 to determine the effects of these ...

Scientists have produced a new roadmap outlining how genetic changes can affect the oil production of plants commonly used to generate biofuel.
