Future research can help learn how to grow colored cotton, refractory or even antibacterial.
In the United States, scientists at the Institute of Biotechnology. Hudson Alpha has teamed up with several partners in research, grants, and projects to send cotton to space and obtain data that they can use to genetically analyze plants and create new varieties.
This was reported by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agrobiotechnological Applications (ISAAA).
Researchers are pursuing the idea that growing cotton under zero gravity (with zero gravity) can help them see any changes in plant genetics.
It is noted that scientists thus want to compare the differences in the genetic sequence of cotton grown in space from that which traditionally grows on soil. These differences will be studied both at the level of genes and at the level of external traits in order to create new varieties of cotton in the future.
This will allow scientists to create varieties that will have stronger fibers, better drought tolerance or resistance, or even less water consumption.Recall, it was previously reported that
According to scientists, the main factors in the loss of ability to consume bananas by humanity can be an increase in temperature and the transformation of growing regions into unsuitable for this, as well as the spread of the so-called Panamanian banana disease. This is a specific fungus that is resistant to chemicals and can rapidly spread to healthy plants. The fungus can destroy entire plantations of bananas, because it can get into the roots and remains in the soil for decades.
