- Crispr/CAS9-Based Gene Drives Could Curb Agricultural PestsResearchers have developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based "homing gene drive system" that can be used to suppress populations of the spotted-winged fruit fly Drosophila suzukii, according to a new study from North Carolina State University. The fruit fly, a so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila," destroys soft-skinned fruit in parts of North America, Europe and South America. Researchers at NC State...0 Comments 0 SharesPlease log in to like, share and comment!
- New Method Provides Vital Information for Plant BreedingPlants exhibit enormous variation in traits relevant to breeding, such as plant height, yield, and resistance to insect pests. One of the greatest challenges in modern plant research is determining which differences in genetic information cause such changes. Recently, researchers at the University of Düsseldorf in Germany and the Carnegie Institution of Science in the United States...0 Comments 0 Shares
