Breakthrough Research on Ocean Algae Could Lead to Freeze- and Drought-Resistant Crops
National Science Foundation (NSF)"The missing link" has been found in how tiny ocean algae produce a chemical substance that influences cloud formation in the atmosphere. The breakthrough research by a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded scientist at the University of Florida at Gainesville could help explain global climate changes and make it possible to develop agricultural crops that resist freeze, drought and salt-water damage.
