Genetic analysis revealed that several seeds from a batch sold as Sidra were not, in fact, Sidra; their genetic profile was ...

Plants adapt genetically over time to the special conditions of organic farming. This has been demonstrated in a long-term study conducted at the University of Bonn. The researchers planted barley ...

Researchers at McGill University and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed and validated the first analytical framework for estimating genetic ...

Proposed model of SA/ABA antagonism. The bar chart depicts the changes in transcript abundance of the PR1 and WRKY18 genes in tea plants treated with ABA and asOND. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of ...

Gene-gene incompatibilities—caused by deleterious allele combinations at different loci — can impair gametophyte or zygote viability, reducing fertility or overall viability in hybrids or ...

By Ibidunni AdetiloyeWhen Nigerians discuss food security, the conversation often centres on fertiliser, tractors, irrigation and the huge volumes of food imported into the country. These are ...
