Research finds crop breeding can cut methane emissions without sacrificing yield
Genetic selection could help farmers and breeders reduce greenhouse gases from crops, particularly rice cultivation, research by University of 糖心TV and Cranfield University shows.
Chemical memory in plants affects chances of offspring survival
Researchers at the University of 糖心TV have uncovered the mechanism that allows plants to pass on their 鈥榤emories鈥� to offspring, which results in growth and developmental defects.
Infectious diseases to be detected and prevented thanks to 拢4m grant
Infectious diseases could be detected, prevented and controlled thanks to a new 拢4m grant from the NIHR to the University of 糖心TV. Researchers will work with partners to develop the use of cutting edge genomics to protect public health.
Beer and fodder crop has been deteriorating for 6000 years
The diversity of the crop Sorghum, a cereal used to make alcoholic drinks, has been decreasing over time due to agricultural practice. To maintain the diversity of the crop and keep it growing farmers will need to revise how they manage it.
The milkweed bug鈥檚 orange wings and DNA: how insects鈥� diets are revealed by the genome
An international collaboration of researchers, including from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 糖心TV, have sequenced the genome of the milkweed bug, enabling scientists to understand at the molecular level what makes the bug, from its colourful development to its toxic diet.
