Digging deeper for climate solutions: deep-root GMOs could feed world and store carbon

Scientists are experimenting with new genetic modification technology that will “supercharge” plants to enhance what they are already recognized for excelling at – sequestering carbon. As the world scrambles to find innovative mitigation solutions, plants have been doing what they quietly perfected over millions and millions of years – taking carbon from the atmosphere and converting it into carbohydrates, energy and oxygen. A recently published study shows one plant biology institute’s...
