Noble Research Institute researchers search for ways to develop crop plants that require fewer finite resources.
Model Plants and Why They Are Important for Ranch Research
Model organisms are used to study the basic biological functions of a more complex plant or animal.
Unlocking the Power of Legumes
Plants need to eat to live. Their food commonly comes in the form of fertilizer. But the plants rarely finish their dinner. Excess washes away, wasting time and money as well as causing environmental concerns. Scientists are looking within the plants themselves to unlock their natural abilities to more efficiently use nutrients.
Improving a Solution
Plant scientists see the ways agriculture can be more environmentally friendly. They have ideas for tools to help farmers and ranchers. To solve some of the planet’s most pressing problems. And now they seek to overcome a philosophical division with a new vision in plant breeding.
When at first you do not succeed, you must try, try again
Looking at the stubborn seeds that had refused to germinate, it was clear that we would be repeating the experiment for the third time. The 360 sad, little Medicago truncatula seeds stared up at me from within their plastic tubes and refused to offer any usable data.
Scientists to study molecules affecting plant development
Researchers at Noble Research Institute and Michigan State University (MSU) recently received a four-year, $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Top 5 Resources for Medicago Researchers
Researchers who study legumes have resources available to help them advance agriculture. Here are the top five resources made by and for the Medicago research community.
Three Important Lessons We Learned From Medicago in 2017
Research using model species leads to fundamental discoveries in biology, and this holds true of our favorite model legume Medicago truncatula as well. Here’s a roundup of three noteworthy lessons we learned last year from international groups working on Medicago.
Handling Large-Scale Plant Research Projects
As a child in Tampico, Mexico, Ivone Torres-Jerez watched with fascination the laboratory scientists at the clinic where her mother took her for her annual wellness checkup. Torres-Jerez thought they...
