Fay Wei Li, from the Boyce Thompson Institute, and researchers from across the globe have sequenced the genomes of three hornworts, which could lead to crops that produce higher yields and use less synthetic fertilizer.
Doctoral students Monique Pipkin and Ama Bemma Adwetewa-Badu have been selected to receive 2021 Ford Foundation Fellowships. Honorable mentions were awarded to nine additional Cornell graduate students.
Weather forecasters are warning of three major storms that will impact Thanksgiving travel. For the Northeast, it’s likely that only areas of northern New York and interior New England will keep snow on the ground for Thanksgiving. Jessica Spaccio, a climatologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, offers snow predictions for the Thanksgiving holiday.
When Cornell’s COVID-19 Modeling Team began developing protocols for the return to campus, they turned to Cornell librarians to comprehensively answer a series of rapidly evolving – and critically important – questions.
A Cornell faculty member is part of a core team that has organized the Tompkins County COVID-19 Food Task Force, a nerve center working to ensure that those in need have access to food and that food producers stay in operation during the crisis.
Researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute have discovered the mechanism behind the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi, which could lead to reduced fertilizer use.
As plants try to strengthen their defenses against nematodes, those parasites try to outsmart them. New research shows that nematode species that move from plant to plant cause more than mechanical damage.
Cornell will establish a new Center of Excellence in Food and Agriculture at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, thanks to $1 million in state funding.
Research co-led by Robert Raguso, professor of neurobiology and behavior, explains why plants of the same variety in different locations can have dramatically different scents.
Researcher from Cornell and Virginia Tech have identified the process by which fungus is spread from plant to plant, carrying disease that costs billions annually in lost crops.
