I just stumbled upon the discovery of Coccoloba gigantifolia in Brazil in 2019. Its massive leaves made me wonder about photosynthesis but also about the potential for ultra large infiltration experiments. Link to paper is here doi.org/10.1590/1809... photo Rogerio Gribel #plantscience 🪴🌱🧪

Lou et al. engineered source-sink relations to improve carbon partitioning by targeted insertion of heat-shock cis-elements into cell-wall-invertase genes using prime editing. This delivers climate-smart crops with higher yields under normal conditions and stable yields under heat stress in tomato and rice.
