As an avid gardener will tell you, plants with sharp thorns and prickles can leave you looking like you’ve had a run-in with an angry cat. Wouldn’t it be nice to rid plants of their prickles entirely ...

What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)? Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering.

The plant gets its color — and a boost in antioxidants — from genes from an edible flower. It's the first time gardeners have been able to... Gardeners can now grow a genetically modified purple ...

As home gardeners in the U.S. page through seed catalogs and pick out their favorite heirlooms, there's a new seed that has never been available to them before: a tomato the color of a concord grape ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

The decision reinstates unscientific regulation of new plant varieties, contradicting not only decades of experimentation, application, and deliberation, but also common sense. The use of molecular ...

Genetic engineering is poised to help biopharma realize the potential benefits of commercial-scale, plant-based protein production, according to a leading researcher. The idea of making therapeutic ...

FDA’s updated guidance on genome-edited plants adds an additional layer of flexibility for industry stakeholders, while upholding the agency’s 1992 safety policy. Released on Dec. 16, FDA’s recent ...

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...
