Help for stressed-out cells in a crisis

The figure shows two root tips of thale cress, Arabidopsis thaliana, which was used as a model plant in the study. The cells contain a biosensor (roGFP2iL) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which reads the ambient redox status and indicates reductive stress in the right-hand root.

Genetic engineering can have a positive effect on the climate

The expansion of the land area for agricultural production contributes significantly to tropical deforestation in Brazil.

Digital assistants in the field

The big watchdog on the field

the robot and other technologies enable plants to be observed, analyzed, better understood and given targeted treatment. The device helps researchers to record key parameters such as plant growth, soil conditions, biodiversity and the atmosphere.
