Unmixed blessing - Researchers are closing in on the long-sought goal of creating high-yielding hybrid crops that can be propagated indefinitely, without sex
‘Game changer.’ Scientists are genetically engineering crops to clone themselves.
Duckweeds are amongst the fastest growing of higher plants, making them attractive high-biomass targets for biofuel feedstock production. Their fronds have high rates...
Scientists drive oil accumulation in rapidly growing aquatic plants
Improved technologies and agricultural innovation are the key drivers of growth in the agricultural sector. Despite such acclaimed progress, sustaining the productivity of wheat—which remains the staple food...
Tanzania’s agriculture faces persistent low crop productivity due to endogenous and exogenous factors, particularly low and unpredictable rainfall, and the incidence of pests. To address these challenges...
Evidence accumulated from many developing countries during the past 50 years has demonstrated that yield-enhancing cultivars are vital inputs to sustained agricultural productivity growth...
In the cotton-production zone of Burkina Faso, poor soil fertility and limited access to appropriate fertilizers call for alternative approaches to sustain productivity, such as the introduction of more legumes...
