Canola oil may soon burn in engines rather than frying pans
A growing market for biodiesel fuels is heating up interest in canola among Texas producers. view more (2005-11-07)
Crop Management: How Small Do We Go?
The use of on-the-go crop and soil sensors has greatly increased the precision with which farmers can manage their crops. Recently released research in Agronomy Journal questions whether more precise management is necessarily more efficient. view more (2008-07-09)
RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE AND FETAL GROWTH RETARDATION ASSOCIATED WITH COELIAC DISEASE (p 399)
Coeliac disease - a condition where wheat gluten causes dietary malabsorption to genetically-susceptible individuals - may be closely linked to recurrent spontaneous abortion or intrauterine growth retardation, according to a research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. 15% of pregnancies result in spontaneous abortion, with the... view more...

Fungus genome yielding answers to protect grains, people and animals
Why a pathogen is a pathogen may be answered as scientists study the recently mapped genetic makeup of a fungus that spawns the worst cereal grains disease known and also can produce toxins potentially fatal to people and livestock. view more (2007-10-08)
Scientists uncover further steps leading to celiac disease
Scientists who last year identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, have, following continued research, discovered an additional seven gene regions implicated in causing the condition. view more (2008-03-03)
Scientists invite the public to "Meet the Ancestors" at the Chelsea Flower Show
Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich[1], are in the final stages of their preparations for this year's Chelsea Flower Show[2] where they will be inviting the public to 'Meet the Ancestors - of the past and the future'. Visitors to the JIC exhibit will be able to compare modern crops with the wild plants that are their ancestors and... view more... (2002-05-17)
Biologists develop large gene dataset for rice plant
Scientists have reported development of a large dataset of gene sequences in rice. The information will lead to an increased understanding of how genes work in rice, an essential food for much of the world's population. view more (2007-03-14)
Global seed vault marks 1-year anniversary with 4-ton shipment of critical food crops
Four tons of seeds - almost 90,000 samples of hundreds of crop species - from food crop collections maintained by Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, USA, and three international agricultural research centers in Syria, Mexico and Colombia, were delivered today to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault as it celebrated its one-year anniversary. view more (2009-02-26)
First all-African produced genetically engineered maize is resistant to maize streak virus
Maize streak viruses (MSV), geminiviruses that can destroy most of a maize crop, are endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent Indian Ocean islands where they are transmitted by leafhoppers in the genus Cicadulina. view more (2007-07-09)
It takes two to fight cancer
New research at the Institute of Food Research shows that two food components recognised for their ability to fight cancer are up to 13 times more powerful when put to work together. The results are published in the latest issue of international journal Carcinogenesis. The study focuses on genes that play an important role in tumour formation,... view more... (2003-03-31)
New company learns from spider`s ability to spin
A new spin-out from Oxford University, Spinox, is aiming to devise novel ways to copy spiders` ability to spin silks. The new silks may be used for sutures or woven material for surgical implants, protective clothing and in sports equipment. Spinox has been set up to fully develop a spinning process to create high performance fibres from natural... view more... (2002-03-07)
Shatter-resistant brassicas
An international team of scientists has cracked the problem of pod shatter in brassica crops such as oilseed rape. view more (2009-05-28)
Children's diet not the main cause of ADHD
Food may not be the major cause of hyperactivity in children. Genetics, brain function and parental actions such as smoking may be just as important. view more (2008-05-30)
ISU researcher identifies protein that concentrates carbon dioxide in algae
Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a concern to many environmentalists who research global warming. view more (2009-04-09)
How to build a plant
Walking through a tropical or temperate forest immediately impresses us with the myriad forms and soaring structures of the plant world, but our knowledge of how plants are actually built, cell by cell, is still incomplete. view more (2008-06-26)
Growing crops to cope with climate change
Scientists at the UK's leading plant science centre have uncovered a gene that could help to develop new varieties of crop that will be able to cope with the changing world climate. view more (2006-01-20)
UCL study shows beans beat cancer
Scientists have discovered a new and potent anti-cancer compound in everyday food. The collaborative study led by UCL (University College London) shows that the compound-inositol pentakisphosphate-found in beans, nuts and cereals inhibits a key enzyme (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) involved in tumour growth. view more (2005-09-16)
Early Detection Of Coeliac Disease Essential To Prevent Excess Deaths (p 356)
Death rates for people who have the intestinal disorder coeliac disease are twice that of the general population, conclude authors of a prospective study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Early disease diagnosis is essential to prevent additional mortality. Coeliac disease is a disorder in which the small intestine is abnormally sensitive to... view more... (2001-08-01)

All eukaryotic kinases share 1 common set of substrates
Kinase mediated phosphorylation is generally recognised as the major regulator of virtually all metabolic activities in eukaryotic cells including proliferation, gene expression, motility, vesicular transport and programmed cell death. view more (2007-08-22)
