      Very interesting question. I also agree with you that microscopes are really cool!
      So the plants we want to be more drought tolerant are crops mainly. Global warming and increasing world population is causing us to have lots of problems feeding the world
      We hope by making plants live in hard conditions more of the world will be able to grow and less people will have problems getting food.
      Thanks for your question!
