Plants need to adapt to challenges like drought, heat, and pests to survive, and scientists use this understanding to improve crops through genetic solutions. With a growing population and changing climate, it’s crucial to harness plant adaptation for boosting...
Researchers are looking belowground to address atmospheric carbon, using soils as a tool for climate mitigation. Accessing roots and soils has historically required some creative problem-solving to take a deeper look at the rhizosphere, or the soil around a root...
Every day, hundreds of billions of gallons of a precious, dwindling natural resource, fresh water, is used for agricultural irrigation, energy extraction and more. The demand for novel sources of clean water, in the face of a growing population and a warming planet,...
