A team from Kobe University and Tottori University announced in an international academic journal by the 16th that they have discovered a type of wheat that can survive in environments where water is scarce and have elucidated its water-saving mechanism. The wheat keeps its stomata, which are used for respiration and water release, mostly closed, thus suppressing water loss. This could be a trump card for securing food in arid regions.
