In a new perspective published on 29 March in Science, an international team of experts argue that plant breeding technologies ― in particular, genome editing technologies ― could lead to
Deforestation emissions make up one-sixth of the carbon footprint of the average EU diet, according to a new study published on 29 March in Global Environmental Change, a peer-reviewed journal
The intensity of biodiversity and ecosystem changes owing to land use may largely depend on climate. In particular, the climatic environments of tropical mountains change dramatically with elevation, which the
A new study, published in January in eLife, a peer-reviewed open access journal, showed that epigenetic modifications passed along to plant offspring can instil disease resistance ― importantly, without decreasing
