Biotechnology used in agricultural science greatly affects our lives — from nurturing our bodies and feeding our families to mitigating the effects of climate change. Just one handful of healthy soil ...

Climate change and an accelerated population growth impose a major threat to crop production around the world. In order to ensure food availability and minimise the environmental impact associated ...

Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

Dr A Q Khan Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering of the University of Karachi in collaboration with Smart City Lab National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI), NED University ...

CRISPR gene-editing, and related genome engineering technologies, are reshaping industries from medicine to materials, with breakthroughs in treating genetic diseases, enhancing crops, and engineering ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

From self-fertilizing crops to more resilient seeds, these projects aim to boost yields and slash emissions. Part of a special report on MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges Initiative Agriculture is both a ...

One March morning, more than eighty years after his family first started growing oranges in DeLeon Springs, Steve Crump stood on the same land, shaking his head in frustration. The fourth-generation ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...
