A study led by researchers at the University of Oxford has developed a framework to help agricultural sectors better contribute to global biodiversity targets without causing unintended harms.

A research team has shed light on how water lilies produce their vibrant petal colors, revealing key genes involved in blue, red, and white coloration.

A research team has uncovered the unexpected role of the cassava ferritin-like gene MeFER4 in plant stress responses.

Greenhouse berry production research at Simon Fraser University (SFU) is ramping up thanks to $5 million in new funding over three years from the Weston Family Foundation’s Homegrown Innovation Challenge.

The SFU-led project—developed in collaboration with industry partner BeriTech—is one of four Canadian projects selected to participate in the Challenge’s Scaling Phase. With this support, the team will continue advancing their indoor blueberry trials while branching out to include raspberries and blackberries. The goal: to develop sustainable, scalable, and economically viable indoor growing systems that can support Canadian farmers year-round.

A research team has developed an advanced deep learning model, LKNet, to improve the accuracy of rice panicle counting in dense crop canopies.
