Researchers at South Ural State University have uncovered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as a biological alarm system, helping cereal crops adapt to extreme heat and drought.Controlled ROS activity triggers protective responses and creates «stress memory» within plant cells.This adaptive memory can be inherited by future generations, potentially enabling long-term tolerance to climate-related stress through breeding.The discovery could help breeders develop climate-resilient varieties of wheat, rice, barley and sorghum.With staple crops under mounting pressure, this breakthrough offers a new tool for strengthening global food security.
