The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños/Philippines and its global partners have introduced Green Nutritious Super Rice (GNSR), a new generation of rice varieties designed to address the twin…
Wheat is one of the world’s staple crops, feeding billions of people every day. A research team in the USA have now detected a rare gene in wheat growing three ovaries per flower instead of one. The discovery might lead…
Kazakhstan is releasing its first drought- and heat-tolerant variety of alfalfa, one of the world’s most important feed crops. Developed thanks to wild relatives seeds stored in local and global genebanks, the new…
Wheat production is threatened by a major fungal disease: yellow rust. Researchers at the University of Zurich in Switzerland have found traditional wheat varieties from Asia that harbour several resistance-conferring…
A new study by scientists of Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands provides new insights on rice evolution, showing how the DNA of this valuable crop has changed across species. The findings are expected to not only help with…
Scientists have uncovered genetic variation in the unexplored DNA of the photosynthetic and energy factories of Arabidopsis plants, which plays a crucial role in the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants. This new…
Smallholder farmers produce a third of the world’s food, making them key players in climate change mitigation and adaptation. But many lack the means to survive economic downturns, adapt to new policies or invest in more…
A team of researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)in Los Banos/Philippines has identified genes and markers responsible for low glycemic index (GI) and high protein content in rice, using genetics…
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 in Germany. The results have now been published in the…
With climate change threatening coffee cultivation, an international research team under the lead of Nestlé plant scientists are exploring how advanced data science and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to help…
