Biologist Prof. Rashmi Sasidharan (UU) studies how plants deal with extreme weather conditions. What specific characteristics help plants to survive? And how can they serve as an inspiration for the kind of crops we grow?
In collaboration with the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development &: Future Food Utrecht (UU).
