Epigenetics

Can epigenetics help guide plant breeding?

When it comes to adaptation, plants are smart. And they have especially clever ways of adapting to environmental stress – like droughts. They can even pass these changes on to their progeny without changing their DNA sequences. The study of these kinds of changes is known as epigenetics, and epigenetics researchers are looking at whether they can make some of these natural adaptations to stress permanent. » Learn more...
 
Soybean cyst nematode

Tackling a tiny but terrible yield robber

Soybean cyst nematode is a microscoping, soil-dwelling pests that both feeds and reproduces on soybean roots. Its name comes from the pinhead-sized cysts that it leaves on the plant’s roots. While that occurs underground, aboveground, SCN symptoms include yellowing, stunted or dead plants in patches in a field. In susceptible cultivars growing in highly infested fields, it can cause yield losses of up to 80 per cent. While resistant soybean varieties are a critical tool for managing SCN, the threat of the pest adapting and overcoming the resistance is very real. That threat is spurring researches toward new advances in SCN management. » Watch the video...
