Miscanthus is a commercial crop due to its high biomass productivity and resilience. Research by the Earlham Institute has shown It grows well on marginal land in the UK, where yields might otherwise be limited by scorching summers and wet winters.
The team, including scientists from the Earlham Institute discovered 15 previously overlooked indica rice varieties that have the potential to increase the resilience of crops in Vietnam.
The Earlham Institute is developing new ways to analyse and manage large biological datasets. By making multiple measurements of crops through imagery, biochemical data and genetic data it is able to predict which genes need to be selected to increase yields or protect against crop disease.
Virtual models of the real world are helping farmers, growers and breeders to understand the complex interconnections between crop, environment and markets.
To understand which flowers are important for bees, scientists from the Earlham Institute (EI), with the University of East Anglia (UEA), have developed a new method to rapidly identify the sources of bee pollen.
This Agri-Tech Week event showcases agri-tech innovation from across the Norwich Research Park (NRP) around the theme of climate resilience in agriculture.
The NRP’s six science partners form an international centre of excellence in life and environmental sciences research, with particular strengths in plant and microbial sciences, genetics and genomics, climate and geo-sciences and food, health and human nutrition.
The event includes contributions from the John Innes Centre, UEA, Earlham Institute, and NRP tenants.
As part of Agri-Tech Week 2018 Earlham Institute presented a three-part workshop featuring Carousel Activities of live demonstrations, laboratory tours and finished with transforming food
A major hurdle to the uptake of research into new wheat varieties is that breeders do not have the specialist bioinformatics training required to utilise the latest
