How to Use the Microbes to Protect Crops From Drought?
Climate change is threatening every aspect of our lives, including what we eat. Droughts in particular are looking like they will be a major threat to our food supply, especially since crops such as maize, wheat and rice are particularly vulnerable to dry weather. Which is why researchers have been trying to make plants more drought resistant for decades, using high-tech approaches like genetic modification. And while they have been somewhat successful, genetically modified plants are not the only way to tackle this problem. It is a simple solution that might have been right under our hands this whole time, the soil-dwelling microbes that make up a plant's microbiome.

And that's only part of the problem, because you need a different antivenon and a different batch of horses or sheep for pretty much every venom out there. Luckily, researchers are getting closer not just to better antivenoms, but to universal ones. And here is how.
