New publication in the plant journal
Potato is one of the most important staple food crops, consumed by millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, potato plants display diminished yield in response to heat stress, which is especially problematic in the face of constantly increasing ambient temperatures. We investigated whether the heat-mediated yield losses can be mitigated through nitrogen fertilization. Our findings show […]
