  • Study Finds Genetic Solution to Pre-harvest Sprouting in Rice, Wheat
    13 Dec 2022

    A new Chinese scientific study has identified a combination of two crop genes that are in charge of controlling seed dormancy and could be used to reduce the costly phenomenon of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in crops such as rice and wheat.
