A Norfolk plant scientist has been made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her work in understanding genetic regulation and for her commitment to advancing careers for women working in science

Scientists have discovered how a gene that helps determine plant flowering time could help us breed better brassicas in the face of climate change

New research has found that ‘mother’ plants remember the seasons and use this memory to teach their seeds the time of year and tell them when they should germinate

New research findings have helped to settle an important debate in the field of epigenetic inheritance

Scientists at the John Innes Centre have discovered why the first buds of spring come increasingly earlier as the climate changes

Professor Caroline Dean has been awarded a Women In Science award from the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) and the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS)

Plant scientists have discovered that a non-coding RNA, induced by cold, helps plants flower in spring

Plant geneticists from Norwich’s John Innes Centre working with experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered how the memory of cold, so important for flowering, is erased every generation in plants
