Current research on improvement of crops involves dissection of plant responses to various stress caused by a lack of water, restricted nitrogen availability, or high temperature. (academicsreview.org)
The results have implications for plant response to climate change — some plant lineages, including many crops, will not have the underlying genetic attributes that will allow for rapid responses to climate change.» (sciencedaily.com)
The study was done at both the University of Georgia Horticulture Farm in Watkinsville, Georgia and at the University of Georgia Tifton campus so the scientists could compare plant responses under different environmental conditions. (sciencedaily.com)
