Some grasses are a sustainable energy source that could be a driving force towards achieving net zero carbon emissions, according to new research that demonstrates their resilience to harsh growing environments. 

Plants have the same variation in body clocks as that found in humans, according to new research that explores the genes governing circadian rhythms in plants.

Earlham Institute researchers have applied expertise in genomics and bioinformatics to give us the most detailed insight into wheat genetics yet. The findings, published in Nature, will help ensure food security for years to come.

Researchers in the Zhou Group at EI, in cooperation with Ely-based G’s Growers, have developed a machine learning platform, AirSurf-Lettuce, which works with computer vision and ultra-scale images taken from the air to help categorise lettuce crops in fields.
