With global population growth and climate change posing escalating threats to crop production, the current food system is ...

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how ...

Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties.

For millennia, developing resilient crops relied on pollination by nature or humans—making the process long and often costly. Now, scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology ...

The central work area of this Section is to assist Member States in the design and implementation of innovative and effective plant breeding programmes using radiation-induced mutation through, for ...

Corn is one of the world's most important crops, critical for food, feed, and industrial applications. In 2023, corn ...

K-State beef cattle experts emphasize early heifer preparation and the role of nutrition in early conception and calving success.

In northeastern Bangladesh, the red narrow-mouthed frog (Microhyla rubra) is defying the monsoon, breeding in winter streams. It is a surprising twist that challenges assumptions about amphibian life ...
