Is this actually a joke? Is that a real tweet? Sorry I just can’t fathom that such an unprofessional and illogical request could be allowed.

Sorry to hear this! I guess trump wants you to develop the tech with another country like china and then buy it back at 5x the price 🧐

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.

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

A knock-in of a 10bp heat shock promoter element in front of cell-wall-invertase genes improved heat stress response in rice and tomato!!!
