Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear
