Webinar April 30th at 10.00: Engineering Roots to Address Climate Change

Prof. Wolfgang Busch from Salk Institute will give a webinar on engineering roots to adress climate change. A better understanding of plant roots could help grow more resilient food sources—an increasingly urgent problem in the face of the planet’s shifting climate and increasing population—and help develop root systems that can be utilized on a large scale to store carbon dioxide (CO₂) that was captured from the atmosphere by plant above-ground tissue.
