The Journey to Drought-Resistant Wheat Through Scientific Breakthroughs
Scientists are on a quest for drought-resistant wheat, agriculture’s ‘Holy Grail’ | CBC News
Advancements in genome mapping and gene editing have provided more precise and less controversial methods for modifying wheat DNA, which may overcome the challenges of developing drought-resistant strains owing to the complexity of the wheat genome. However, the process of testing and gaining regulatory approval for these new strains can take several years.
