Plant invasions are becomingly increasingly common with global climate change. As a significant threat to biodiversity, appropriate management of invasive species is critical for the protection of native flora. However, many of the management strategies aimed at combating the impacts of invasive species only end up exacerbating them.
Technological advances have demonstrated the possibility of chemical synthesis of a multicellular plant genome. What does this mean for humans and how should we prepare for this breakthrough?
Drought is a serious threat to global food security. In upstream research, crop drought-tolerant traits are often studied under extreme drought conditions, which can seem irrelevant in the eyes of breeders.
