Elevated growth temperatures are negatively affecting crop productivity by increasing yield losses. The modulation of root traits associated with improved response to rising temperatures is a promising approach to generate new varieties better suited to face the environmental constraints caused by climate change. In this study, we identified several root traits altered in response to warm ambient temperatures.

- Scientists studied how different types of oilseed rape (a type of crop) flower when it gets really hot.
- They found that most of the varieties flower later in high temperatures, but one type actually flowers earlier.
- The research also shows that certain genes and molecules help control when these plants flower, and understanding this could help grow better crops in warm weather.
