Working with colleagues on four continents, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Zachary Lippman has established the ...

Scientists have identified genes that control tomato and eggplant size, paving the way for bigger, tastier, and more ...

Scientists have identified new gene modifications that can make tomatoes and eggplants grow bigger, which could help boost ...

THE use of medicinal plants in the management and treatment of conditions including malaria, diabetes, and anaemia has received a lot of attention lately.Medical programmes are paying more attention ...

Importantly, their biggest breakthroughs didn’t come from plants in Lippman’s backyard. Instead, it was African eggplant. A tomato relative indigenous to the sub-Saharan region, African ...

Genetic changes that can increase the yield of one crop don’t necessarily work for others, even if they’re close relatives.

Using precise genetic engineering techniques, researchers can target these genes and grow plants with bigger fruits ... Michael Schatz and others at Johns Hopkins go deep inside genomes to unlock the ...

A genetic breakthrough may soon bring bigger and better tomatoes and eggplants to the world. Scientists have mapped the ...
