Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have released the largest-ever single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset of genetic variations in poplar trees, information useful to plant scientists
Genome editing with site-specific nucleases has become a powerful tool for functional characterization of plant genes and genetic improvement of agricultural crops.
In order to understand and engineer complex traits, as photosynthesis biodesign, molecular cloning tools for flexible, efficient and reliable assembling of multigene constructs from smaller DNA parts are required.
The invention provides a genetic mechanism for the reduction of lignin biosynthesis while increasing concentration of desirable flavonoids.
By identifying two genes required for transforming inorganic into organic mercury, which is far more toxic, scientists today have taken a significant step toward protecting human health.
