Researchers used genomics to investigate the genetic changes causing resistance to transgenic crops in field populations of the corn earworm, also known as cotton bollworm or Helicoverpa zea. They ...

Agricultural biotechnology is revolutionising modern farming through the integration of molecular biology, genetic engineering and advanced diagnostic technologies. By developing genetically modified ...

The already sophisticated breeding systems for major commodity crops like Corn and Soybeans are being synergized through the use of genome editing technology Genome editing with CRISPR and other tools ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Steven Savage writes about technologies enabling modern agriculture The Plant and Animal Genomics scientific conference was held ...

They won't devour insects with leafy jaws, but with help from carnivorous plant genes, tomatoes, tobacco and other crops could one day better defend themselves from pathogenic fungi and insects. An ...

Transgenesis is a biotechnological process that involves the introduction of foreign genetic material (transgenes) into a living organism, resulting in the creation of a transgenic organism. This ...

If left unchecked, insect pests can devastate crops. To minimize damage and reduce the need for insecticide sprays, crops have been genetically engineered to produce bacterial proteins that kill key ...
