As AgFunderNews detailed, the Ancient Environmental Genomics Initiative ... Modern farming methods have relied on breeding ...

Understanding the mechanisms that ancient crops use to respond to temperature fluctuation will help us uncover unexplored opportunities for plant breeding and make our research more targeted.

From ancient farmers manually pollinating crops ... scientists are investigating new — and harnessing old — ways to breed plants that could help stabilize, and even increase, our food supply.

Releasing new varieties is important, not just for the breeder and the program, but for the state as well. It's estimated ...

The project has been established to identify “pre-domesticated” varieties of plants that have been changed relatively little by breeding and might contain ... the plants from yesteryear that our ...

Understanding this mechanism is relevant for breeding more resilient ... Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that play a crucial role in plant genome architecture and gene regulation.

Mutation breeding uses genetic variations induced at the beginning of the plant breeding process to quickly develop large populations of improved crops, which can be further bred until a desired ...
