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.

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!!!
