Plant breeders are keenly interested in securing the genetic diversity needed to breed new varieties that will withstand the droughts and elevated temperatures expected in the future as a result of climate change.

A : In the same way that forest trees will absorb CO2 and emit oxygen, certain types of indoor plants absorb the chemicals in polluted air and metabolize them, purifying the air around them. Basically, the pollution doesn disappear, it stocked in the plant leaves, branches and roots where it harmless for humans. More than 50 different plants have been tested and scientifically proven to purify the air around them and there could potentially be a lot more which have not been tested..
