    The document discusses a new method for improving crop yields through genetic engineering. Scientists have identified a gene in drought-resistant plants that allows them to tolerate dry conditions. The gene regulates production of a protein that serves as an antioxidant and molecular chaperone. Researchers are working to insert this gene into corn, soybean and cotton plants to create new varieties that require less water to grow. This has potential to help farmers in dry regions and adapt crops to a changing climate.
