Beating the heat.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the efforts made by U.S. researchers in the development of transgenic drought-tolerant crops. Topics discussed include production of transgenic corn by the hybrid seeds producer DuPont Pioneer that regulates production of phytohormone ethylene, approval of a sugarcane expressing choline dehydrogenase with enhanced resistance to water deprivation by Indonesia, and the views of agricultural ecologist David Lobell on the plant's natural responses to drought stress.
