✍️ Scientists are studying the genes of plants that can survive for months without water, known as 'resurrection plants', to develop crops that can thrive in water-scarce conditions.
👉 Resurrection plants can survive for months without water 👉 They have evolved unique mechanisms to survive extreme drought 👉 Researchers are studying the genes of resurrection plants to develop crops that can thrive in water-scarce conditions 👉 One approach is to introduce genes from resurrection plants into crops 👉 Another option is to study the microbiome of resurrection plants, which may hold the key to their ability to survive drought
