John Innes Centre scientists identify protein which boosts rice yield by fifty percent

In collaboration with researchers at Nanjing Agricultural University, Dr Tony Miller from the John Innes Centre has developed rice crops with an improved ability to manage their own pH levels, enabling them to take up significantly more nitrogen, iron and phosphorous from soil and increase yield by up to 54 percent. Rice is a major

Scientists produce beneficial natural compounds in tomato

Given the opportunity to drink fifty bottles of wine or eat one tomato, which would you choose? Scientists at the John Innes Centre have found a way to produce industrial quantities of useful natural compounds efficiently, by growing them in tomatoes. The compounds are phenylpropanoids like Resveratrol, the compound found in wine which has been
