Genes Found in Drought-Resistant Plants Could Accelerate Evolution of Water-Use Efficient Crops


Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified a common set of genes that enable different drought-resistant plants to survive in semi-arid conditions, which could play a significant role in bioengineering and creating energy crops that are tolerant to water deficits.
