The Medal of the Republic has been awarded to geneticist Li Zhensheng. With a career spanning over 70 years, Li has been instrumental in advancing agricultural science, promoting new wheat varieties and increasing yields to ensure the nation's food security. (CGTN)
Researchers led by Dr. JIAO Yuling from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators from Peking University, have found that gene editing of an APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor transcription factor, DUO1, could significantly improve wheat grain yield.
What will a hotter Earth bring to wheat consumers and farmers? A new study predicts that global prices for the grain will exhibit steeper spikes at 2 degrees Celsius warming despite a slight increase in production.
