Read moreYou may have already heard of Aloe vera for cancer prevention. Every year more research on Aloe vera is taking place all around the world as word spreads about its natural healing potential.
Read moreThe plant defence responses to pests results in the synchronized change of a complex network of interconnected genes and signalling pathways
Read moreDue to the random nature of transgene insertion in the majority of higher eukaryotes, transgenic DNA may integrate into regions of the genome that are transcriptionally repressed, which can result in ...
Read moreTo survive under stress conditions, plants alter gene expression patterns, make structural and physiological adjustments and optimize the efficient use of resources. Among these changes, protein turn-...
