Scarecrow - new gene isolated by Cornell University researchers could quell the ever growing challenge of feeding more humans, whose numbers are likely to bloat to 9.5 billion by 2050. This new gene could lead to new varieties of staple crops with 50 percent higher yields and feed growing populations. Scarecrow is the first gene discovered to control a special leaf structure, known as Kranz anatomy, which leads to more efficient photosynthesis, the journal ...Monday, 28 January 2013
