- 2Genome Editing Reveals Alfalfa's Drought-Control Switch●Genome Editing Exposes Alfalfa’s Drought-Control Switch
Researchers have used genome editing to identify a genetic switch in alfalfa that controls how the plant responds to drought. The finding, reported by CRISPR Medicine News, could help breeders develop alfalfa varieties that stay productive under water stress. Alfalfa is a major forage crop, so improving its drought tolerance has significant agricultural implications.
