Engineering source-sink relations by prime editing confers heat-stress resilience in tomato and rice
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.
