Are your weekends taken up with mowing the lawn? Scientists have recently found the molecular path of a hormone that affects the growth of most plants. Researchers think that by manipulating the hormone, brassinolide, plant growth will be able to be controlled. This means we could see grass that would not grow higher than 3 inches, virtually removing the need for weekly mowing! Crop yields could be increased by taller growing feed crops and vegetables.
