As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Scientists have been tinkering with Mother Nature again. Botanical genetic engineers obviously never saw the margarine ad that cautioned, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature." Here are just a few ...

Over millennia, there has been a seamless continuum of technologies for genetic modification of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with progressive improvements in precision and predictability – a ...
