Reply to comment by dys_functional in Chinese scientists develop salt-tolerant soybean that can grow well on previously barren soil by mutherhrg

Despite how good the soybean is, I still think another plant, corn in particular, would've been a better choice to make hardier and able to grow in arid environments. I know those scientists probably picked soybeans for a different reason than why I'd choose corn. Better reasons, sure. It's probably way too crazy to do the same to a plant like corn. I get it.

Oats would be even better. There are quite a few grains and other plants that would be preferable, like Moringa!
