A team from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC) developed genetically modified plants that can produce sex pheromones
The acceptance of genetically engineered food is a divisive topic that is deeply embedded in the ongoing debate around climate change, sustainability and food security. Despite studies finding that genetically
Sunlight is required for photosynthesis, but too much sunlight can damage plants. So, to protect themselves, plants avoid so-called photodamage by expelling excess light as heat. How they achieve this
