Fruit ripening is a genetically orchestrated transition culminating in changes to colour, texture, flavour and nutritional composition. Central to this process is a network of transcription factors ...

Plants are continually exposed to environmental extremes such as drought, salinity, temperature extremes and nutrient imbalance, collectively termed abiotic stresses. Adaptive responses to these ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...
