Caption

A researcher measures the soil moisture of maize plants in a growth chamber at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Part of a study creating soil microbiomes to improve crop drought tolerance, the research addresses one of the top 100 questions identified by an international panel in plant science: How does the plant microbiome affect stress tolerance? These questions are aimed at the greatest challenges facing humanity.
