Gene Variants to Protect Against Yield Loss During Heat-Stress Conditions
Modifies Corn to Reduce Yield Loss Due to Heat StressThese gene variants will help protect against heat-stress-induced yield loss in corn and should help maintain productivity as climate change results in more frequent and more severe heat-stress events. Corn is the most popular grain crop produced globally, and is projected to be the most consumed...
