Virtual Plant Cell: Drought Proof

Virtual Plant Cell: Drought Proof showcases an Australian research effort to address the challenge of improving plant growth under drought conditions. The resource addresses themes ranging from: basic plant cell biology, cell signalling and photosynthesis; to organisms and their environment; adaptation to stress conditions such as drought; and food security challenges. This 360° video is coupled with hands-on activities and supporting teaching documents to create an immersive experience in your classroom. Virtual Plant Cell is a suite of immersive, educational virtual reality and 360° video experiences created for classroom use by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology: www.plantenergy.edu.au/VPC
