Candidate Genes for Inducing Apomixis in Plants by Genetic Engineering
USU researchers have identified specific genes that promote apomictic seed set in plants. This allows crops to propagate themselves asexually, creating cost effective, efficient, and high yielding plants.

Personalized Improvement of Color Perception in People with Red-Green Color Deficit
USU researchers have developed a customizable, novel eye contact lens inspired by the reflective, sub-micron spaced lamellae in the eyes of elephantnose fish. This innovation improves color perception in people with red-green color deficit while...

UV-A Light Dehydration of Foods
Compared with conventional methods, dehydrating foods using UV-A light requires less energy and maintenance, decreases environmental impact, and minimizes degradation of food quality while remaining safe for human operation.
