"From the cells of aquatic algae to the majestic redwoods towering 100 metres above the California coast, the history of plant evolution has been one of increasing complexity. The underlying rationale ...

Palmer, 35, has been studying the structure and evolution of the chloroplast genome since he was a doctoral candidate at Stanford. A chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells in which photosynthesis ...

Another newcomer is joining the molecular farming ranks, but this one is producing multiple dairy proteins – in the form of liquid casein – from a single plant. After three years in stealth mode, ...
