Research explores ferns' and flowering plants' independent evolution of nectaries to attract ant bodyguards.
By overexpressing three key proteins, scientists increased Rubisco content, thus improving photosynthesis and overall plant growth. This has potential applications for other staple crops.
Maria Harrison joins an exceptional group of researchers elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society for her work on plant-microbe interactions and their potential for addressing global challenges.
Congratulations to Dr. Grossman for his election to the NAS. His work on plant biology has important implications for agriculture and aligns with BTI's mission.
BTI scientist Georg Jander addressed the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, outlining the transformative potential of CRISPR technologies in agriculture.
BTI's new PhenoSight facility holds the potential for unparalleled insights into plant growth, development, and response to environmental conditions.

Discover how plants have adapted to survive harsh, dry conditions and how this knowledge can help us develop more resilient crops.
New research reveals gut bacteria produce fatty acids that directly impact fat metabolism, shedding light on the complex interplay between diet, microbes, and metabolic health.
This study not only deepens our understanding of the molecular dynamics behind plant-AM fungal symbiosis but also highlights the intricate and often unseen connections that sustain life on our planet.
BTI celebrates its centennial with the launch of a three-year fundraising campaign, starting with a $500,000 matching gift from Cane-Bridge Foundation.
