Scientists Uncover RNA Silencing Technique to Change Seed Size in Plants

January 28, 2019
In a development with promising implications for crop farmers in the U.S. and around the world, scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have figured out how to get some plants to produce nearly one-third bigger seeds.

Biologists Find Day and Night Pathways Regulating Plant Growth Vigor

May 7, 2018
Scientists are slowly unravelling the complex molecular pathways that regulate growth vigor in plant hybrids, with the goal of eventually developing hybrid crops that can grow faster and more productively, while at the same time doing a better job of resisting stress such as heat, drought and pests. Many crops such as corn are grown as hybrids for better yield and traits. Read more about Biologists Find Day and Night Pathways Regulating Plant Growth Vigor
