In a new study, scientists used nearly every tool in their toolkit—genomics, transcriptomics, greenhouse experiments and advanced statistical methods—to gain new insight into the complex chemical interactions that take place in underground root nodules, where […]
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have successfully revived fungal specimens collected over 80 years ago, offering a fresh glimpse into how industrial agriculture has altered the invisible ecosystems that support global food production.This […]
Scientists at the University of California, Davis, used artificial intelligence to help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats — which may lead to new ways to protect crops like tomatoes and potatoes from […]
Farmers and foresters across Europe are sharing sustainable bio-based practices and technologies, showing how local knowledge and European collaboration can help drive the transition to a greener future.This post was originally published on this site.
In the middle of summer, garden vegetables like green beans are proliferating, but so are pests that like to chew and suck on them. Now, a study in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry […]
Expanding efforts to measure, monitor and protect soil biodiversity around the world will intensify further with the establishment of the Global Soil Biodiversity Observatory, to be led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the […]
A team of plant scientists has made a significant breakthrough in understanding how potato plants defend themselves against Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea (Sss)—the soilborne pathogen that causes powdery scab, an emerging and economically damaging […]
In a major step toward securing global food supplies and advancing sustainable agriculture, a team of scientists has proposed an integrated framework that combines biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize crop breeding.This post was […]
With hosepipe bans in force across several English regions and more restrictions likely to follow, gardeners face some tough choices. When every drop counts, which plants deserve your precious water from the water butt, and […]
Two new varieties of muscadine not only promise a longer growing season but also recall two Arkansas icons, both names trademarked: Altus, the state’s wine capital, and Mighty Fine, a name that describes its flavor […]
