This research provides a comprehensive analysis of deleterious mutations in pear (Pyrus spp.) during domestication, shedding ...

Picture of a tomato plant with an unfavorable natural mutation (on the left) and a tomato plant in with the mutation was repaired by genome editing (on the right). The repair of the mutation leads to ...

Strawberries are notoriously soft and highly perishable, posing challenges to global production. Recent research has identified a genetic breakthrough that could help cultivate firmer strawberries ...

Plant breeders have always faced a brutal trade-off: the traits that matter most for food security, like drought tolerance or disease resistance, often take years of field trials and careful crossing ...

Most plants can reproduce both sexually (through flowers and seed) but many important crops, such as potatoes and strawberry, are propagated vegetatively, e.g. through tubers or shoots. A new study of ...
