“The original idea [of graft hybridization] was that you can change the heritable properties of the plant by grafting, that there is no principal difference between sexual and graft ...

Tatsuya Nobori, Salk Institute for Biological Studies To save time and study dozens of genes at once, Nobori developed a method called plant hybridization-based targeted observation of gene expression ...

Using current technological and scientific advances, we are able to observe a snapshot of a plant group that is rapidly ...

What are ways species exchange genes with each other? Hybridization and gene flow are shortcuts to biodiversity that don’t always involve differentiation. By continuing to study hybridizing ...

Biologists have discovered a low-cost way to more easily study the detailed makeup of plant cells. The ultimate goal is to help grow better crops, improving food security.

This makes B. oleracea a key subject in studying hybridization and broader evolutionary trends. The coolest thing about this ...
