The vanilla species grown for its flavoring is finicky. Genes from its wild relatives could help make it hardier — but not if those cousins go extinct.

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

Plants face simultaneous abiotic (drought, salinity, heat) and biotic (pathogens, pests) stresses in natural and agricultural ...

Using a modified CRISPR-based mechanism, the team led by Prof. Pallob Kundu has developed a stress-activated gene switch that empowers plants to survive extreme heat and microbial attacks.

While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the ...
