Transformation is more than another manufacturing buzzword. Today, 98 percent of manufacturers have a digital initiative in ...

Digital transformation is key to making industries more agile, resilient, and sustainable. These are essential qualities if businesses are not only to survive but thrive in the Industry 4.0 era—and ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader—Agrobacterium—long used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its ...

Hydroelectric power plants in Japan have been vital to the national energy supply for many years, and today’s demands for low-carbon energy make these resources more valuable than ever. To maximize ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...

Iowa State engineers, left to right, Connor Thorpe and Shan Jiang helped invent the "Flow Guiding Barrel," which improves gene gun performance for the genetic modification of plants. Jiang is holding ...

A research team has created gene-edited crops without using tissue culture. A team of plant biotechnologists led by Gunvant Patil at Texas Tech University (TX, USA) has developed a groundbreaking ...

Ethylene evolution from plants inhibits Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation, but the mechanism is little understood. In this study, the possible role of ethylene in Agrobacterium-mediated ...

There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...
