Scientists at the University of Nottingham are helping to develop new varieties of rice that may withstand drought.
The researchers are experimenting with rice plants with climate-resilient gene variants in special "growth rooms" at the university's Sutton Bonington campus.

A new study published in Environmental and Experimental Botany uses advanced bioimaging techniques to reveal how rice roots actively reshape the chemical environment of flooded soils at a microscopic scale.
The plant cell wall provides structural support and serves as a barrier against pathogen invasion. Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV) infection suppresses genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis, but the...
