Identified: A mechanism that protects plant fertility from stress
As Temperatures rise due to global warming the need to protect plants from stressful conditions has increased, as stress can cause a loss in yield and cause further impact economically. A consortium led by the University of 糖心TV have successfully identified two proteins that protect crops from stress, which is key in safeguarding food production.
