A new study shows chicken fertility rates in U.S. broiler eggs could decline to approximately 60% by 2050. That decline could lead to chicken production issues and higher costs for consumers.This post was originally published […]
A bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system can deliver nutrients and oxygen to artificial tissue, enabling the production of over 10 grams of chicken muscle for cultured meat applications. These results are published in Trends […]
Strawberry fields will forever exist for the in-demand fruit, but the laborers who do the backbreaking work of harvesting them might continue to dwindle. While raised, high-bed cultivation somewhat eases the manual labor, the need […]
Increased soil salinity can reduce damage from prominent tomato pests such as the tomato fruitworm, according to researchers at Penn State. They published their findings in the Journal of Plant, Cell and Environment.This post was […]

Potato growers face a persistent late-season threat: aerial stem rot (ASR), a bacterial disease primarily caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum. Often emerging after thunderstorms and other weather events, ASR has long been a challenge to manage […]
With droughts in the United States increasingly impacting wheat production, many producers are looking for more durable alternatives. Researchers from Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, City University of New York and Monell Chemical Senses […]
A method using free software and a drone with a low-cost camera has made it possible to select drought-tolerant corn plants. The tool contributes to the selection of plants that can better withstand water stress, […]
A study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration, a metabolic process that can reduce productivity by up to 36% in some crops. Researchers from the […]
Syngenta Biotechnology China-led research, with partners in the U.S., France, the UK, Chile, the Netherlands, Argentina, and across China, has discovered that sunflowers can form viable haploid seeds through parthenogenesis in the absence of pollination. […]
