Researchers from TUM and IPK have identified genetic and root-growth traits that help Arabidopsis thaliana tolerate boron deficiency, a growing challenge under climate change. By analysing 185 datasets, they found seven boron-efficient ecotypes with enhanced lateral root growth and key genomic regions linked to nutrient uptake. These insights could guide breeding nutrient-resilient rapeseed with improved yields and climate tolerance.
