A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and cultivated rice, and decoded the genetic architecture and diversity of rice. This study, published online in Nature on April 16, ...

A group of researchers has successfully developed a flexible and simple method of artificially producing genetic switches for yeast, a model eukaryotic organism. Genetic switches are necessary in ...

Plants exhibit a remarkable capacity for self-repair and regeneration, a process crucial for adapting to environmental changes and underpinned by cellular totipotency or pluripotency. Apple is one of ...

A research team has reviewed significant progress in understanding the growth and stress response mechanisms in bermudagrass, a widely distributed and valuable grass species. This review highlights ...

Researchers have developed high-tech tools to uncover the genetic cause of the most difficult to diagnose cases. Early childhood seizures result from a rare disease that begin in the first months of ...
