Clocking into the internal rhythm of #wheat plants

Circadian clocks of wheat can provide a window into the plant’s nutrient content & life cycle, finds new research that could improve agricultural production and crop resilience in a changing climate.

In a recent greenhouse study, researchers showed that yellow flag iris plants, working in symbiosis with fungi on their roots, can take up and transform certain PFAS compounds from water. This plant–fungus partnership enhanced pollutant removal compared with plants alone.
