High resolution x-ray analysis reveals the inner life of leaves while advancing engineering efforts to reduce crop sweat
✦AI Summary
Researchers are using high-resolution X-ray analysis to study the internal leaf structures of crops. The goal is to improve plant ventilation to help crops better withstand heat and drought conditions.
Why it matters
Improving crop resilience is critical for maintaining food security in the face of global climate change and rising temperatures.
In the midwestern summer, humans and plants have to breathe through the heat and humidity.
