A new study indicates that pea plants with some specific traits -- such as longer flowering time and higher pod numbers -- may be more resistant to heat stress. The researchers also gained new insights into the genetics of heat tolerance in pea.</span></p></div><dl class="meta hidden-xs dl-horizontal" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: 110px;"><dt class="yellow" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.42857; float: left; width: auto; clear: left; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; text-transform: uppercase; border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-color: rgb(255, 177, 52); padding-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 12px; min-width: 100px;"><span class="">JOURNAL</span></dt><dd class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.42857; margin-left: 100px;"><em class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><font color="#000000" class="">Crop Science</font></em></dd></dl><div class="" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic;"><a href="https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/cs/abstracts/57/3/1540" class="">https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/cs/abstracts/57/3/1540</a></div><div class="" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Verdana-Italic;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="font-family: Verdana;" class=""> ========++++++.
