CBC: Canadian researcher Sean Cutler, who is an assistant professor at the University of California Riverside, led the research. Here he is shown with some of the Arabidopsis plants used for testing. (UC Riverside Strategic Communications) After a decades-long search, researchers say they have finally found an elusive group of proteins that help plants survive stresses such as drought, cold and heat that may increase with climate change.
