Check out our🆕 #OpenAccess review on how #melatonin seed #priming strengthens plant #resilience against #abiotic stresses. We discuss emerging #molecular insights and future #breeding strategies toward designing next-generation, stress-smart #crops 🪴🌾🧬 🖇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Integrating speed #breeding accelerates the development and release of new #varieties. These methods can potentially transform plant breeding programs, addressing challenges posed by climate change and sustainable #agriculture 🖇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1... @abioticstress.bsky.social #plantsci
Accelerated #breeding strategies for developing drought-tolerant crop plants. Integrating #omics, #genome editing, #transgenic breeding, CWRs, and speed breeding presents a synergistic pathway to develop and deliver DS-tolerant plants. 🖇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1... @abioticstress.bsky.social
Impact of #drought stress (DS) on plants. These photos highlight the challenges faced by #farmers and #ecosystems during DS, highlighting the critical importance of sustainable water management to ensure crop production under stressed field conditions 🖇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1... #plantsci
