Leaf Wax Signals Could Help Fight Crop Disease

Researchers are investigating how fungal pathogens recognise plant surfaces, opening the door to crop-protection strategies that disrupt infection before it begins. The waxy surface of a crop leaf could hold […] The post Leaf Wax Signals Could Help Fight Crop Disease appeared first on Seed World .

Plant Breeding’s Future Depends on More Than Science

The future of plant breeding needs more than technical skill. Ana Maria Heilman-Morales explains why mentorship, service and courage matter. The post Plant Breeding’s Future Depends on More Than Science appeared first on Seed World .

Why Seed Testing Still Needs Registered Seed Technologists (RSTs)

Registered Seed Technologists play a critical role in seed testing by applying trained judgment, regulatory knowledge and hands-on experience. Their expertise helps customers understand test results, identify potential issues and make informed decisions about seed lots.
