Sorghum is an important food crop due, in part, to its extreme drought-tolerance. This characteristic makes it an ideal model for demonstrating how biological entities are able to continuously track environmental changes. A new study takes a big stride in revealing some mechanisms underlying drought tolerance. It shows that when water is scarce sorghum radically manipulates the expression of its photosynthesis-related genes and its relation… More…
