Improving fruit quality without compromising plant growth remains a major challenge in crop improvement. This study reveals that enhancing the activity of a conserved “housekeeping” gene can ...

Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...
