New CRISPR Technology Enhances Plant Resilience
Researchers from Bose Institute have developed a novel CRISPR technology that helps plants, particularly tomatoes, combat heat stress and diseases. This smart molecular tool, using a modified dCas9 version, acts as a gene switch that activates defense mechanisms only when plants are under stress. The technology shows promise in improving crop resilience against rising temperatures and pathogens, potentially benefiting various food crops in the future.
