Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

Now, though, the genome is "anchored to a genetic map, ordering the traits like yield, plant height, resistance to drought and others," Wing said. "If you now have a trait for yield, you can go to the ...

Scientists have completed sequencing the highly complex genome of the maize plant and say the accomplishment could herald a second "green revolution" in more productive and nutritious cereal crops.

Using a molecular technique known as the comet assay, researchers tracked oxidative DNA damage and repair in seeds stored for 2, 5, and 12 years under cold dry genebank conditions. Their findings ...
