John Innes Centre scientists are working on a way to screen crop plants for toxic accumulation

Scientists have identified a new class of drug target that tricks tuberculosis bacteria into suicidal self-poisoning

Scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Oxford have discovered which genes control the specialised nutrient mining machine that develops on the surface of plant roots

A few grass species provide the bulk of our food supply and new grass crops are being domesticated for sustainable energy and feedstock production

New research from the John Innes Centre on how plants adapt their flowering to climate is also helping to unravel some of the mysteries of how genes are controlled

An antibiotic that binds to a well-established target in a novel and unexpected way could be the inspiration for designing new, more potent antibacterial drugs

Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic damage caused by environmental stresses

Scientists have uncovered a gene in plants that is responsible for controlling the size of seeds, which could lead to ways of improving crops to help ensure food security in the future

To mark its centenary this year, the John Innes Centre in Norwich has produced a beer to celebrate its ongoing contributions to science and agriculture
