Scientists Use High-Tech 'Gym for Plants' to Breed Climate-Resilient Crops

Rows of tomato saplings stand in a room packed with cameras. Just a few weeks old, they're under constant surveillance as scientists monitor them for tiny changes in color, temperature and photosynthesis. These plants are growing in a chamber designed to mimic the heat and humidity of India's climate. By analyzing their reactions to different stressors, researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands are aiming to uncover genetic traits that have the potential to make crops resilient to human-caused climate change.
