‘Dream’ discovery could sow crops better equipped to weather the climate change storm
Story | Tuesday 9 August 2022
Scientists from ANU and James Cook University have identified an "exquisite" natural mechanism that helps plants limit their water loss with little effect on carbon dioxide intake - an essential process for photosynthesis, plant growth and crop yield.
15 years of experiments have overturned a major assumption about how thirsty plants actually are
Story | Tuesday 9 August 2022
In a new paper published in Nature Plants, we report on a natural secret that could ultimately be used to help plants thrive while using less water.
Scientists show drought-tolerant crops need skin in the game
Story | Tuesday 16 March 2021
ANU experts have found a way to precisely measure a crop’s water loss through its skin, not just the pores on their leaves.
Seeing the light: Better plants, better future
Story | Wednesday 3 February 2021
