In a context where advances in agricultural biotechnology are crucial for food production, a study by researchers from the Instituto de Agrobiotecnología del Litoral (IAL, CONICET-UNL) and the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB-CSIC) in Spain has produced results that could provide new molecular tools for improving plant breeding. The study, published in the journal New Phytologist, enhances our understanding of plant growth regulation and creates new possibilities for developing more efficient crops tailored to future needs.
