Kews growth strategy: hybrid crops without the genetic modification
2013-07-28 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: British researchers are leading an unprecedented global project to track down and store wild relatives of common crops to help breed hybrids with higher yields that could be resistant to the effects of climate change. Crossing staple crops such as wheat, potatoes and rice with their wild cousins offers a natural, safe alternative to the genetic modification of plants in the lab, according to experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, which is behind the scheme. A report by researchers at Kew...
