African scientists, in collaboration with scientists from international institutes have sequenced the genome of a climate-resistant bean. Results could lead to genetic improvements of native legumes to promote widespread…
Climate-resilient, independent and qualitatively high-value rice seed systems have been established as part of the global project Green Innovation Centres for the Agriculture and Food Sector, run by Deutsche Gesellschaft…
Breeding maize with high contents of zinc, iron and provitamin A (PVA) could be effective in mitigating micronutrient deficiency in developing countries with a high reliance on maize-based diets. Information on the mode…
Zimbabwean farmers are poised for greater yield and income gains as a result of a recent agricultural innovation breakthrough – the release of a new hybrid of white sorghum (great millet) that also promises greater…
An international research team recently demonstrated that it was possible to reproduce a hybrid rice variety identically from seed. In other words, such a variety could be cloned infinitely while retaining its original…
Researchers at ETH Zurich/Switzerland have been able to show which genes inhibit self-fertilisation in grasses. Plant scientists can now use this mechanism in a more targeted way to breed new varieties of forage grasses…
A survey at Leibniz University/Hanover, Germany focuses on common features of insect-resistant plant species which could provide the basis for new breeds.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched seeds into space last November as part of their joint efforts to develop new crops able to…
An international team of scientists has unravelled how wheat protects itself from a deadly pathogen. Their findings, published in the journal Nature, could be harnessed to make important crop species more resistant to…
Researchers of the Technical University of Munich in Germany, working in international science teams, are conducting experiments to identify untapped genetic resources to increase wheat yields around the world.
