Drought is a big problem for wheat crops. But what if wheat could learn from its parents to handle dry conditions better? Scientists found that when wheat plants go through drought during a key growth stage, their offspring become more resilient. This is called intergenerational plasticity. The stu
Plants are getting creative to survive droughts. As the world heats up, dry spells are becoming more common and harsher. Scientists are studying how plants handle these tough times. They're looking at how plants use their inner workings to stay alive when water is scarce. One big focus is on the pl
