The work could eventually lead to the development of crops that are better able to survive higher temperatures and reduced rainfall associated with global warming. Rivero a plant scientist at the University of California at Davis and colleagues developed a strain of plants in which the IPT–a gene that prevents a plant from dropping its leaves–is “induced by maturation or drought stress. ” The researchers found that the transgenics grew better under drought conditions than conventional plants.
After permit uproar BP faces challenge of cutting discharges
International Herald Tribune – Nov 26, 2007
Dean said more than a third of the project's budget — about $1. 4 billion (€950 million) — will go toward updating the wastewater treatment plant's series of settling tanks filtration systems and treatment basins with new pollution-removal features. The company has hired environmental and engineering consulting firms to find new technologies that could cut the expanded plant's discharges. And it has funded a $5 million (€3. 4 million) project involving Argonne National Laboratory to assess emerging technologies.
