Sarah Feakins, a scientist at USC who has studied leaf wax in the context of climate change, teamed up recently with researchers at Texas A&M University to research and develop drought-resistant crops. During tests with growing winterwheat, a type harvested for yeast-based breads and other suc...
This summer's brutal drought has ruined some wineries in Texas. Sep 26, 2023 00:49 Gardening 101: Heat resistant trees There is growing concern among some local Arborists on what are the best trees for a warmer and drier climate.
Brosig B-Dahl Grass Seed Drought Resistant Grass. Clayton & Bonnie Brosig offer Brosig B-Dahl Grass Seed as a drought resistant grass for livestock .
Drought-resistant plants can live without water for extended periods of time, sometimes even years, whereas drought-tolerant plants can survive with minimal water for a shorter period of time — generally a few weeks to a month. Drought-resistant plants are more resilient to drought than drought-...
Interspecific hybridization of Kentucky bluegrass with Texas bluegrass (Poa arachnifera Torr.; TBG), a drought resistant grass native to Texas, has been made to transfer genes of drought resistance from TBG to KBG. The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate whether the hybrids have ...
Blooms from spring through fall on trailing plants. Too frost tender to grow as a permanent ground cover here.More shade-tolerant than other geraniums, and resistant to geranium budworm. Great hanging basket. Perennial ground covers Moderate Sagina subulata Not really a moss--prefers sun! Needs ...
Since the early 1990’s extensive genetic engineering efforts are being made to use OA in the design of stress resistant plants. Most experiments involve transgenic model plants that were modified to constitutively express the accumulation of osmolytes. Such transgenics that accumulate glycinebetaine, ...
In drought-adapted ecosystems, we expect a smaller change in PSF with drought compared with mesic ecosystems, because in these systems plant and microbial communities show local adaptation in which drought-resistant traits are selected; in other words, the same reduction in precipitation will be a ...
Thefirst-ever statewide water restrictions, aimed at reducing water usage 25 percent, will see 50 million square feet of lawns replaced with drought-resistant plants, restaurants offering drinking water only on demand, and perhaps even golf courses letting their lush greens go brown. ...
this book will serve as an excellent reference for everyone interested in growing drought-resistant plants and as a naturalist's guide to these beautiful ... PR Dallman - 《University of California Press》 被引量: 293发表: 1998年 The population explosion. Why isn't everyone as scared as we...
