When 200 natural accessions of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a nitrate-enriched medium were compared, one observation stood out: some accessions formed significantly longer lateral roots than others. Genetic analysis revealed a difference […]
An evolutionary “arms race” for light and space led to the early domestication of wheat, according to new research that could offer fresh insights into crop design. The study led by Dr. Yixiang Shan and […]
Scientists at Rothamsted Research and ApresLabs Ltd have demonstrated that SYN-A, a naturally derived synergist extracted from olive oil, can restore the effectiveness of pyrethroid insecticides against CSFB, the most devastating autumn pest of oilseed […]
New research from Cranfield University has analyzed the environmental impact of fresh apples sold in the U.K., comparing the greenhouse gas emissions and blue water scarcity across domestic production and imports from Europe and the […]
La Trobe University researchers have developed a new way to measure and report the environmental performance of farms in a move that could pave the way for future “sustainability ratings” on consumer food and fiber […]
Scientists have pinpointed crucial genetic resistance to a fungal disease that threatens the global banana supply in a wild subspecies of the fruit. In a valuable step forward for banana breeding programs, Dr. Andrew Chen […]
For anyone who relies on coffee to start their day, coffee wilt disease may be the most important disease you’ve never heard of. This fungal disease has repeatedly reshaped the global coffee supply over the […]
During Australia’s unprecedented heat wave in late January, air temperatures reached 50°C in inland South Australia.This article was originally published here
A new Perspective article from an SDSU researcher advocates improving wheat and other staple foods through agricultural techniques, making the food people love to eat healthier. Ali Parsaeimehr, assistant research professor in South Dakota State […]
Plants don’t just respond to light and water, they also run on an internal daily timekeeper known as the circadian clock. Researchers have now discovered that the plant circadian clock can regulate electrochemical signals in […]
