Australian Researchers Find Wheat Gene More Resilient to Hot, Dry Climate
Australian researchers have discovered a new method that could allow the growth of more wheat in harsher climates, according to a new report. Published in the Nature Climate Change journal, the research found a potential strategy revolving around sowing wheat earlier and deeper, by taking advantage of stored soil water. However, modern varieties of semi-dwarf…
‘Metal-Organic Frameworks’ a Solution to Non-Refrigerated Vaccines: CSIRO
A CSIRO study has found MOFs (metal organic frameworks) to be a possible solution to address the challenge of transporting temperature-dependent vaccines. According to the study, for vaccines to work with the maximum potency, they must be stored in specific conditions to avoid degradation across manufacturing, distribution, storage as well as administration; also known as the…
