High resolution x-ray analysis reveals the inner life of leaves while advancing engineering efforts to reduce crop sweat
✦AI Summary
Researchers are using high-resolution X-ray analysis to study the internal leaf structures of crops. The goal is to improve plant ventilation to help crops better withstand heat and drought conditions.
In the midwestern summer, humans and plants have to breathe through the heat and humidity. Researchers hope that a retooled crop plant—one with an improved ventilation system within its leaves—could thrive while avoiding drought stress by reducing “c... [5585 chars]
