// Rapid climate change is contributing to decreased productivity in crops. A balance in nutrition and energy recycling is critical for plants to survive under different stress conditions. A research team from the School of Life Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has unveiled a novel competitive mechanism of autophagy in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This work provides an important basis for improving the nutrient and energy efficiency in crops to achieve a sustainable development. The results have been recently published in Autophagy, a top journal in this field. //
