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. A new study from Iowa State University scientists shows how two seemingly unrelated responses in corn plants interact to help the crop survive heat stress.
The study, published on Tuesday in the academic journal The Plant Cell, shows how a response called the unfolded protein response helps…
