Plant scientists use robotics to study the interaction of heat stress responses in corn – Newswise
A new study shows how two responses in separate locations inside plant cells work in concert to help corn plants respond to heat stress. The research was made p
Newswise — AMES, Iowa – Environmental extremes driven by climate change create stresses in crops, and plant breeders are attempting to untangle the genetic factors that endow plants with tolerance to stress.
