Stem cell transcription factors synergistically induce regeneration involving somatic embryogenesis and can break recalcitrance in Arabidopsis and pepper w

In microbial ecosystems, metabolic interactions are key determinants of species’ relative abundance and activity. Given the immense number of possible interactions in microbial communities, their expe...

Join us to model plant stress responses and help breed climate-resilient crops in a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment!

Farmers and researchers prime seeds to get an even germination. Now researchers from the Netherlands show in New Phytologist that priming puts the available mRNA in the translation starting blocks.

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that enables more efficient and uniform seed germination; however, it negatively affects seed longevity. In this work, the mRNA dynamics underlying a hydroprim...

Join us to explore how bioinformatics and data science, including AI technologies, are transforming the science behind our food, from microbes in food fermentation and sustainable agriculture to advan...
