DAVIS, CALIF. — Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have developed wheat plants that stimulate production of its own fertilizer, which could bring environmental and cost-reduction ...

Farmers could save billions of dollars using the University of California-Davis’ new wheat plants, which stimulate the production of their own fertilizer, a researcher says. The amount that fertilizer ...

Growing wheat in drought conditions may be easier in the future. Researchers found the right number of copies of a specific group of genes can stimulate longer root growth, enabling wheat plants to ...
