Using gene-editing technology, scientists and start-ups are aiming to provide electricity-free illumination.

With plants that look right out of Avatar, cities might soon be lit by glowing foliage instead of streetlamps.

As an avid gardener will tell you, plants with sharp thorns and prickles can leave you looking like you’ve had a run-in with an angry cat. Wouldn’t it be nice to rid plants of their prickles entirely ...

Using genes from fireflies and luminous fungi, scientists have created plants that glow in the dark. View on euronews ...

While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasises the importance of clear regulations to ensure new ...

Scientists in China have developed genetically engineered plants that glow in the dark by transferring light-producing genes ...

Cheongho (left) and Haninjin (right) are both plants of the Artemisia genus and are difficult to distinguish by the naked eye ...

Gene drives—a genetic engineering approach that quickly spreads specific genetic changes throughout a population, whether to ...

1. Amichai Berman (School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at Tel Aviv University), the PhD student leading the research. Researchers: “Genetic editing in crop plants is a complex process. Our ...

A molecular biologist at the Salk Institute shows me a greenhouse full of plants that use a photosynthesis called C4. Plants with that kind of operating system are better suited to thrive in dry and ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant genomes influences gene expression—especially in photosynthesis. The research, ...
