Scientists have collaborated to produce the first gene-edited calf resistant to the bovine viral diarrhea virus, which costs producers billions each year.
A team of enterprising Agricultural Research Service scientists is working on turning the table on mosquitos and other pests, making them into feed.
Agricultural Research Service has found that corn plants will take up phosphorous at 25 to 80 percent beyond what’s needed to reach their full grain yield.
Potato chips are America’s classic snack, and ARS potato breeding program scientists make thousands of crosses improving the crop in a myriad of ways.
A team of Agricultural Research Service and university scientists decided to take a deeper dive into the basic biology of costly and damaging nematodes and, more specifically, their genes for reproducing.
Agricultural Research Service scientists and their Chinese colleagues have identified a specific metabolic pathway that controls how honey bees apportion their body’s resources, like energy and immune response in reaction to stresses such as winter’s cold temperatures, according to recently published research.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service have bred four cotton lines that can be used to make self-extinguishing textiles when exposed to fire. The hope is that these cotton lines will reduce the need for flame-retardant chemicals to be embedded in consumer products.
