Harnessing Microbes for Drought-Resistant Crops: A Promising Solution
Climate change is poised to disrupt virtually every aspect of our lives, including the very sustenance on our dinner tables. Among the looming threats, droughts stand out as a major peril to our global food supply. This concern is amplified by the vulnerability of essential crops such as maize, wheat, and rice to dry weather. In response to this challenge, researchers have invested decades in high-tech approaches like genetic modification to bolster the drought resistance of plants.
