• Biogemma and Wageningen UR announce a collaboration in wheat drought tolerance research

  Due to climate change and ever more limiting resources, the development of more stress resistant crops to cope with changing conditions is an important research topic for many R&D groups and Ag-Seed companies. Biogemma CEO Pascual Perez explains: “Creating innovative GM and non GM trait solut more

• Devgen and IRRI form a partnership for the development of drought-tolerant rice hybrids to the benefit of the Asian rice farmers

  Devgen and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) announced the establishment of a partnership for the development of hybrid rice varieties capable of withstanding drought more efficiently than the presently available varieties. In recent years, rice crops in China, India, and other droug more

• How do trees die? A test of the hydraulic failure and carbon starvation hypotheses

  Abstract Despite decades of research on plant drought tolerance, the physiological mechanisms by which trees succumb to drought are still under debate. We report results from an experiment designed to separate and test the current leading hypotheses of tree mortality. We show that piñon pine (Pi more

• Prediction and verification of microRNAs related to proline accumulation under drought stress in potato

• The Arabidopsis GIBBERELLIN METHYL TRANSFERASE 1 suppresses gibberellin activity, reduces whole‐plant transpiration and promotes drought tolerance in transgenic tomato

  Abstract Previous studies have shown that reduced gibberellin (GA) level or signal promotes plant tolerance to environmental stresses, including drought, but the underlying mechanism is not yet clear. Here we studied the effects of reduced levels of active GAs on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) pl more
