Researchers have used transcriptome analysis, virus-induced gene silencing and biochemical assays, to isolate genes encoding a detoxification enzyme found in cotton, with potential for toxin degradation, crop engineering and design of novel aromatics

Fourteen researchers from eight European countries came together to attend a workshop providing training in genomics-based, pathogen diagnostic and surveillance techniques as part of the Horizon2020-funded RustWatch program

It is understood that a process called Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays an important role in the formation of membraneless organelles, but how is this important process regulated?

Researchers have uncovered an unusual protein activity in rice that can be explored to give crops an edge in the evolutionary arms race against rice blast disease, a major threat to rice production around the world

Scientists have created a new mobile surveillance technique to rapidly diagnose one of agriculture’s oldest enemies - wheat rusts

Scientists at the John Innes Centre and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL), along with partners at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and elsewhere warn that we are not fully prepared to tackle the rise in new epidemics of plant diseases
