aims to establish new labeling requirements for plant-based and cell-cultured meat alternative products. The bill, introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) in the Senate and Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) ...

In 2023, Italy joined the list of countries seeking to restrict labeling on plant-based meat products, when lawmakers proposed banning the production and sale of cultivated meat. This move came ...

The Würzburg plant scientists were right: when they inhibited calcium storage in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell, the calcium transient and the subsequent reaction failed to materialise.

For cultivated meat products, labels must refer to these as “cell-cultured ... In October 2023, plant-based meat brand, Tofurky, challenged Texas’ labeling law with claims that “the ...

When the stem of a plant is injured, the surrounding cells proliferate to repair and fuse the damaged tissue, eventually restoring function. This self-healing property is utilized in grafting ...

Major topics include plant responses to light, carbon dioxide levels, mineral nutrition and abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and pests. Emphasis is on mechanisms by which changes in the ...
