Scientists make breakthrough discovery that could solve major problem in food supply: 'The results are spectacular'

Researchers in Spain have made a breakthrough that helps plants resist drought more effectively than their natural defenses. According to HortiDaily, a team of researchers led by the Spanish National Research Council has developed a molecule called inverted cyanobactin (iCB) that mimics the plant hormone that regulates drought resistance, abscisic acid. Extreme weather conditions like drought are threatening the global food supply, and the situa…
