Genetically engineering plants is a time-intensive process. Methods currently
used to deliver genetic changes are imprecise, so it's often necessary to
generate thousands of plants to find one that happens to have the desired
alteration....

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have determined that a specific gene plays a role
in the weight-gain response to a high-fat diet.
The finding in an animal study suggests that blocking this gene could one day
be a therapeutic...
