PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, Nov. 8 -- Brown University issued the following news:
By studying tomato varieties that produce fruit in exceptionally hot growing seasons, biologists at Brown University identified the growth cycle phase when tomatoes are most vulnerable to extreme heat, as well as the molecular mechanisms that make the plants more heat tolerant.
The discovery, detailed in a study in Current Biology, could inform a key strategy to protect the food supply in th . . .
