The researchers emphasize cover crops have been proven many times over to benefit water quality

New scientific research from Oxford University's Plant Sciences department transforms our understanding of the origins of the sweetpotato - identifying a key piece in the puzzle of the evolutionary history of one of the world’s most important staple crops.

Iowa State University scientists have harnessed data analytics to look “under the hood” of the mechanisms that determine how genetics and changing environmental conditions interact during crucial developmental stages of plants.

The event, known locally as “la calima,” turned skies orange and degraded air quality in Gran Canaria and neighboring islands.

The Texas A&M Forest Service is readying firefighting resources due to warm, dry and windy weather conditions.
