The resulting pan-genome includes more than 75,000 gene families and over 66,000 structural variants. Researchers linked…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (290+ words) A new study from the International Barley Hub (IBH), published in New Phytologist, has identified the genetic mechanisms behind specialized surface features that help barley withstand environmental stress and maintain grain quality. The IBH, part of a £62-million investment through…...

3+ mon, 4+ week ago   (282+ words) EurekAlert! Aluminium toxicity severely hampers crop productivity in acidic soils, yet the genes behind plant resistance remain only partially understood. New research identifies ANAC050, a transcription factor in Arabidopsis, as a key player in this defense. Plants lacking ANAC050 suffer stunted root…...

4+ mon, 1+ week ago   (283+ words) We developed PIVOT, a single-cell screening platform for functional characterization of plant genes. PIVOT enables delivery of gene libraries to tobacco leaves with single multiplicity of infection and magnetic sorting of single plant cells by phenotype. We use PIVOT to…...
