The authors of the study, whose work is supposedly published this week at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (unfortuntely, I can't trace the article) are optimistic of the impacts of this research:
"This technology could ultimately be applied to all crops because it involves the over-expression of a gene found in all plants," said Dr. Roberto Gaxiola, a plant biologist at the University of Connecticut and the lead author of the study. "It has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and improve food production worldwide by addressing an increasing global concern: water scarcity."

this website was ok..but a friend and i are doing a research project for an agricultural class and this page did not really give enough information for anything... you need to work on being more descriptive and have a lot more information that would be more useful.

The Biotech Weblog is reporting on a Texas A&M project that has yielded a drought-resistant tomato by overemphasizing the AVP1 gene.Read the article.Read about AVP1.Nanotechbuzz has a feature about incipient nanomaterials emerging in architectural...
