What is it about?
Drought damage to wheat crops can be reduced by applying a polymer to the leaves to limit water loss

Why is it important?
Drought damage can cost the world's wheat farmers US$20 billion a year
Perspectives
Polymers to reduce plant water loss is an old idea, but hardly used commercially because it has rarely been linked to the critical stages of crop development when drought damage mainly occurs.
