Blackgrass often thrives on heavy, waterlogged land, and new research has revealed how the problematic weed uses specific adaptations in root structure to

A new study has shown that black-grass uses specific adaptations to flourish even when soil is totally saturated for up to three weeks.

Instant Expert: The Genetics Revolution Saturday 9 March, 10am - 5pm | Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL We are on the cusp of a revolution in genetics. The cost of sequencing a genome has tumbled, DNA testing has become routine and new technologies such as CRISPR are allowing us to edit the code of life like never before. But the genetics revolution is only just getting started. Join six leading experts who will be your guide to the rapidly evolving field of genetics. Since the time of Watson and Crick we’ve learned so much about our genetic code – from rea...

Blackgrass is a particularly persistent weed of winter wheat. Its success is largely due to widespread, multiple-herbicide resistance.

April 19, 2021, 11:22 am An international group of scientists and industry professionals, including Rothamsted Research, has launched an ambitious new project to combat weeds aimed at improved management of the most intractable species of weeds in the world. Led by Colorado State University (CSU), The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) comprises 17 academic partners across seven countries and will develop genomic tools that fundamentally advance humanity’s approach to weeds and crops. The €2 million consortium is supported by €900,000 in industry sponsorships and matching ...
