The intricate dynamics of RNA biology in plant interactions with biotic factors, including both microbes and insects, have a major impact on plant health and productivity. Understanding the molecular ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)-funded team are the first in the world to try to understand how plant genes are organised by directly sequencing a molecule called ...

RNA molecules carry instructions from DNA for making proteins that carry out much of the work of living cells. Knowing where these molecules are located in complex tissues is a critical part of ...

As climate change and human activity threaten freshwater ecosystems like lakes and rivers, it’s more important than ever to know how the species who inhabit them are being impacted. But traditional ...

The 2024 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research is awarded to Zhijian (James) Chen for his landmark discoveries that explain how DNA stimulates immune responses. DNA is best known as genetic ...
