Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) is a German university located in Erlangen-Nürnberg.
In 2019, biochemists at FAU have discovered the reason why at high temperature potato plants form less or no tubers. If the temperature rises, a so-called small RNA blocks the formation of tubers. The researchers have successfully deactivated this RNA to create potato plants that are resistant to high temperatures.
