RNA breakthrough creates crops that can grow 50% more potatoes, rice
UChicago-led research could yield increased food production, boost drought tolerance
27-Jul-2021 -
Manipulating RNA can allow plants to yield dramatically more crops, as well as increasing drought tolerance, announced a group of scientists from the University of Chicago, Peking University and Guizhou University.
In initial tests, adding a gene encoding for a protein called FTO to both rice and ...
