Summary:
A team of biologists and agronomists has identified genomic signatures in plants indicating they are resilient to stresses such as drought or toxic soils. The multi-year study, expected to help developing-world farmers, was done with sorghum, one of the world’s most common crops. It appears in the journal Science Advances. “It is abundantly clear that climate change... read moreContent analysis:
