Plant geneticists develop a new application of CRISPR to break yield barriers in crops

09/22/2017 05:54 PM EDT

gene promoter called SICLV3

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have harnessed the untapped power of genome editing to improve agricultural crops. In tomato, they have mobilized CRISPR to rapidly generate variants of the plant displaying a continuum of three agriculturally important traits: fruit size, branching architecture and overall plant shape. All are major components in determining yield. The method is designed to work in all food, feed, and fuel crops.

The latest versions of most smartphones contain at least two and sometimes three built-in cameras. Researchers at the University of Illinois would like to sell mobile device manufactures on the idea of adding yet another image sensor as a built-in capability for health diagnostic, environmental monitoring, and general-purpose color sensing applications.

CCNY-led research team identifies new organelle in parasitic wasp venom

09/22/2017 05:55 PM EDT

wasp

City College of New York (CCNY) biologist Shubha Govind and her research team have identified the composition of "virus-like particles" (VLPs) found in the venom of a wasp that is a parasite of fruit flies. Invisible to the eye, wasp VLPs suppress the flies' immune responses by killing their blood cells.
