Beneath our feet, clover quietly fixes nitrogen and feeds livestock, but climate change is testing its ability to persist. New genomics research at Earlham Institute is uncovering the genetic basis of cold tolerance to breed improved cultivars. 🌱🧬 #CropScience #PlantScience
Unlocking the agricultural value of clover
Across fields and grasslands, clovers often go unnoticed beneath our feet, but for PhD researcher Jhih-Sheng Liu, they provide a fascinating opportunity to understand how genomics can deliver tangible benefits for farmers and the environment.
