Increasing Yield by Editing Crops for Climate Resilience to Increase Survival & Productivity
Time: 4:00 pm
day: Day One
Details:
- Developing gene-edited crops that thrive in changing climates by focusing on traits that improve a plant’s ability to withstand stressors such as heat and drought
- Targeting drought and soil salinity resistance to boost yield through precise genetic modifications that enhance crops’ survival and productivity
- Providing examples of increased crop productivity through gene editing to illustrate how these innovations have already led to improved yields
