Growing Plants
Just like people, plants inherit traits from their "parents." Using this knowledge, agricultural scientists are able to use the crops with the best traits to make sure future crops will be strong and healthy. What traits do you think make different crops better?
Did you know that flowers aren’t the only plants that need pollination? All plants do! Scientists at Corteva Agriscience can make this process happen themselves in order to study plant genetics. Check out how!
Dr. Magan Lewis of Corteva Agriscience breaks down the basics of plant genetics. How can improvement to plant genetics be made over time?
Just like you, plants need water and food, along with sunlight, to survive. Think about how you feel when you eat too much. Do you think that plants can also have too much food? Check out exactly what plants need to grow!
