Crops that can withstand rising temperatures could increase global food security amidst the rising threat of climate change.

Crops that can withstand rising temperatures could increase global food security amidst the rising threat of climate change.
Scientists uncover the role of soil fungi in improving crop yields and balancing complex plant-pollinator interactions.
Honey bees compete with wild bees for resources in croplands, but nutritious wildflower plantings can mitigate these effects.
Just like our gut has helpful microbes, so too does the soil around plant roots. But what happens when antibiotics disrupt this balance?
There is an urgent need to replace fossil-derived plastics with biodegradable alternatives but do they solve microplastics’ health issues?
Traditional means farmers used to use for seed selection and preservation may help us cultivate more resilient food in a changing climate.
Applying an advanced light-scattering technique, scientists could quantify the microplastics released when plastic containers were heated.
The sensor could improve crop yield by detecting changes in plant chlorophyll levels earlier and more precisely than existing methods.
Magnetic iron nanoparticles shown to eliminate persistent water pollution, such as microplastics and oils.
By accurately detecting moisture levels, this artificial leaf sensor could help increase crop yields while reducing the need for pesticides.
