Fire blight remains one of the most destructive bacterial diseases threatening global apple production, with limited long-term control options.

Researchers have developed a new disease-resistant banana called Yelloway One. Yelloway researchers use conventional breeding techniques, not genetic modification. The Yelloway Initiative is trying to ...

Several varieties of wild spinach that originated in Central Asia show resistance to a destructive soil-borne pathogen that beleaguers growers of spinach seed in the Pacific Northwest -- a finding ...

A new study reveals an evolutionary trade-off that young plants face to develop disease resistance. From toddlers in daycare to seedlings in forests, young organisms tend to get sick more easily than ...

The Switzerland-headquartered company says it 'represents a breakthrough in sustainable banana production.' There's a brand-new banana on the block that promises to be at least partially resistant to ...

Scientists have discovered evolutionarily conserved trans-lncRNA pairs that boost disease resistance in tea plants. These pairs, including the 12-oxophytodienoate reductase gene, interact with the ...

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

"2025 proved that our technology delivers, not in the distant future, but right now," says Tropic CEO Gilad Gershon.

New reports suggest that gene editing could bring us disease-resistant pork as soon as 2025. It's been thirty years since the first genetically modified tomato hit store shelves. That first promise of ...
