As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...

Growing wheat in drought conditions may be easier in the future, thanks to new genetic research out of UC Davis. An international team of scientists found that the right number of copies of a specific ...

A healthy plant needs a healthy root system, and in some cases, it's better if that root system is from a different plant. These are called rootstocks, and today we go below the surface and find out ...

Modern agriculture highly depends on the achievements of crop domestication and improvement. While these activities increase yields, they also reduce the genetic diversity of crops. At the same time, ...
