Plant genetics

When organisms pass their genes on to future generations, they include more than the code spelled out in DNA. Some also pass along chemical markers that instruct cells how to use that code. The passage of these markers to future generations is known as epigenetic inheritance. It’s particularly commo

(August 2003) Even before the creation of transgenics, the alteration of crops to improve their production was performed through selection. In fact, this selection has been going on for thousands of years and only in the past few centuries has it become a dedicated science onto itself. So, why has there been a push to

Domesticated crop plants tend to have low genetic diversity because they have usually been selectively bred from varieties that are genetically related. This cross-breeding approach produces high-yield varieties, but it can also increase susceptibility to disease and pests.[1] Cross-breeding these…

Humankind unwittingly dabbled in genetic engineering 10,000 years ago, when early farmers saved seeds from their most vigorous plants — those with the hardiest genes — for the next year’s crops. We’ve come a long way since then.
