Researchers at the University of California, Davis/USA, have found a way to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilisers needed to grow cereal crops. It could save farmers billions of dollars annually in fertiliser costs.…
An international research team show which signalling pathways make plants more resistant to flooding. The scientists have succeeded in demonstrating that plants can survive longer without oxygen if they have previously…
A maize transporter responsible for the regulation of iron and zinc in balance in maize has been identified by a team of Chinese scientists. The discovery provides opportunities for genetic resources and a theoretical…
An international team of researchers have identified markers associated with resistance to the banana weevil borer, which is one of the worst pests in banana and plantain production.
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the shea tree, a vital social and economic crop best known as a source for the popular ingredient shea butter, which is found in products like cosmetics and chocolate.
An international team of researchers from 41 organisations has assembled chickpea’s (chana) pan-genome by sequencing the genomes of 3,366 chickpea lines from 60 countries. Grown in more than 50 countries, chickpea is the…
How can farming get fit for climate change? The issue already arises in seed production. Scientists from the Research Group “Right Seeds” at the University of Oldenburg/Germany argue that genetic diversity and regionally…
A new study by a research team of Germany’s Universities of Bonn and Freiburg and its Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) sheds light on the mechanism used by plants to monitor how much of…
Researchers at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) have identified a set of promising genes in chickpea that could play a key role in the plant's defence against dry root rot…
Australian researchers have succeeded in developing a Cavendish banana line that is resistant to the devastating Panama disease tropical race 4. (TR4). The Cavendish banana is the Number one export banana variety…
