Despite significant advances in developing stress-resistant cultivars, many innovations remain confined to research plots rather than reaching farmers' fields. Our latest perspective examines the translational bottlenecks that hinder deployment at scale.
@aabiologists.bsky.social
Thrilled to share our new paper - now out in @jxbotany.bsky.social
This work explores how contrasting leaf traits shape photosynthetic efficiency and resilience in wild and cultivated tomatoes.
Huge thanks to @proftlawson.bsky.social and other coauthors!
