#BIOBROOM#Breeding flies to fight broomrape parasite weeds Can flies be bred as gardeners weeding undesirable pests from the crop?
but breeding such mice is an expensive time-consuming process. Now MIT researchers have found an alternative:
#Crystal breeding factory uncovered A breakthrough in understanding the way in which crystals develop will have a major impact for the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries.
Lancaster University chemists in collaboration with international colleagues have uncovered a'Crystal Nuclei Breeding Factory'which, they say,
almost as if'breeding'is taking place. How this happens has never been understood. It's been a big question
and Professor Lennart Lindfors, of Astrazeneca, Sweden, have mapped out'in diagram format the actual movements made by chemical molecules on their breeding journey using computer simulations.
Sequencing the genome of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) will help breeders develop varieties of cotton that are equipped better to combat the pests,
and breeders in the years ahead develop cotton varieties with improved fiber qualities, higher yields and more tolerance to heat, drought and diseases anticipated due to climate change.
