A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has developed a method to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels using ...

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, UC Riverside, and Utsunomiya University in Japan have demonstrated the feasibility of using microbial cell factories to amplify the ...

Despite decades of global population growth, global food crisis seems to be at hand yet again because the food productivity is cut severely due to prolonged presence of abnormal weather from ...

Sometimes just using a different tool makes the job a whole lot easier. A team of researchers co-led by the University of ...

Despite decades of global population growth, global food crisis seems to be at hand yet again because the food productivity is cut severely due to prolonged presence of abnormal weather from ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi live together in neighborhoods known as microbial consortia. Some of these neighborhoods naturally exist in soils, food, water, and even the human gut ...

Sometimes just using a different tool makes the job a whole lot easier. A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has developed a method to produce a special class of ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...
