Plant tissue engineering improves drought and salinity tolerance

from University of Nevada, Reno via Science Daily

Plant tissue engineering improves drought and salinity tolerance University of Nevada, Reno via Science Daily After several years of experimentation, scientists have engineered thale cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana, to behave like a succulent, improving water-use efficiency, salinity tolerance and reducing the effects of drought. The tissue succulence engineering method devised for this small flowering plant can be used in other plants to improve drought and salinity tolerance with the goal of moving this approach into food and bioenergy crops.
