A new variety of broccoli with higher levels of a key phytonutrient is now available in UK shops thanks to experts working on both the biology of plants and the link between human nutrition and health

An international team of scientists has sequenced the genome of a Chinese cabbage type of Brassica rapa, a close relative of oilseed rape

Scientists on the Norwich Research Park, working with colleagues in China, have developed new techniques that will aid the application of genomics to breeding the improved varieties of crop needed to ensure food security in the future

For the first time, scientists have identified a mutation in plants that was selected twice - during both natural evolution and domestication

Plants are able to protect themselves from most bacteria, but some bacteria are able to breach their defences

RevGenUK, the mutation detection service based at the John Innes Centre is poised to take advantage of the newest advances in genomic technology, supported by The Genome Analysis Centre Capacity and Capability Challenge Programme

An international team of scientists has cracked the problem of pod shatter in brassica crops such as oilseed rape

A new project is being launched at the John Innes Centre in Norwich to help geneticists understand how plants grow
