If you've ever seen a perfectly seedless watermelon or seed-free lemon and wondered if the fruit is genetically modified, here's everything you need to know.

Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest resistance and other valuable traits. That technology, which loads genetic ...

For the first time, researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genome-scale technology that makes it possible to reveal the role of genes and traits in plants previously hidden by ...

Scientists have taken a close look at what happens on the molecular level when DNA is inserted into the genome of a plant. They determined the genetic sequence and epigenetic features of plants that ...

Plants can be engineered to recombinantly produce high-quality proteins such as therapeutic proteins and vaccines, also known as molecular farming. Molecular farming can be established in various ...

Researchers have revealed a previously unknown way plants shape their growth in response to light — a breakthrough that could better equip crops to handle environmental stress. In a first-of-its-kind ...
