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. https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(24)01321-7?rss=yes
