Chilean Breakthrough in Mapping Antarctic Plant Genome | Science-Environment
A Chilean-led team has created the most comprehensive genetic map of Colobanthus quitensis, one of Antarctica's two naturally growing flowering plants. This breakthrough can aid in developing crops with resilience to extreme climate conditions, thanks to its survival in harsh Antarctic environments.
These two plants from Antarctica hide secrets to surviving the future
Chilean researchers have sequenced the full genome of Colobanthus quitensis, one of Antarctica's two native flowering plants. The genetic map could help scientists edit crops for cold, drought and ultraviolet stress.

Study is the most complete so far and seeks to develop agricultural crops resistant to extreme weather conditions
Scientists in Chile have created the most complete genetic map yet of one of only two flowering plants that grow naturally in Antarctica, potentially paving the way for the development of crops that can withstand extreme weather conditions. The plant Colobanthus quitensis has attracted scientific interest for years, as it can survive the extremely low temperatures, lack of water and high levels of ultraviolet radiation of Antarctica, one of the …
