Researchers have found a gene in wheat that acts to promote rust fungal infection. Disrupting the function of this gene provides resistance to two of the most economically damaging diseases of wheat worldwide - yellow and stem rust

A question puzzling molecular biologists concerns how mRNA processing sites are precisely recognised; particularly how are they distinguished from surrounding sites with similar sequence content?

A new UK centre of excellence is being set up by partners on the Norwich Research Park to improve global food security which is threatened by the effects of climate change

Two talented early-career scientists have won £2.5m funding from the global health charity Wellcome Trust, to carry forward their influential research at the John Innes Centre

Professor Dale Sanders has received the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) International Science and Technology Cooperation Award

John Innes Centre researchers have helped in the development of pioneering gene stacking techniques to combat the growing threat of wheat rust

A leading John Innes Centre researcher and colleagues have been awarded European funding to develop innovative molecular solutions to combat a damaging sugar beet virus

A European Court ruling widely interpreted to mean that all gene-edited organisms are GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) may not be as prescriptive as many first assumed

Research has shed new light on the molecular mechanisms that allow crops to synchronise flowering with favourable conditions
