Plant annexins are proteins that help plants deal with stress. Scientists studied a specific annexin in wheat called TdANN12 and found that it helps plants tolerate different types of stress by removing harmful substances called ROS. By adding this annexin to other crops like tobacco, tomato, and rice, scientists believe they can make these plants more resistant to stress. This research shows that plant annexins could be a useful tool for improving crop resilience to both environmental and biological challenges.
