伊利诺伊大学开发耐气候的玉米,以适应中西部极端天气。 University of Illinois develops climate-resilient corn to adapt to extreme Midwest weather.

伊利诺伊大学正在开发具有气候抗御力的玉米,因为中西部天气极端现象日益加剧。 The University of Illinois is developing climate-resilient corn due to increasing Midwest weather extremes. 该项目由Martin Bohn教授牵头,利用基因组选择来预测玉米在各种环境条件下将如何运作。 Led by Professor Martin Bohn, the project uses genomic selection to predict how corn will perform under various environmental conditions. 该研究由720,000美元美国元赠款供资,旨在改进玉米育种,以适应气候变化,对其他作物也具有潜在好处。 Funded by a $720,000 USDA grant, the research aims to improve corn breeding for climate change adaptation, with potential benefits for other crops as well.
