The same way we need to put brick by brick to build a wall, we need to add piece by piece of information to build knowledge. Every piece of information puts us closer to our goal. Here is an very important piece that we just added.

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Bioengineering soybean plants to improve regulation of photoprotection—a natural process that enables plants to cope with excess absorbed light energy—improved soybean seed yield by up to 33% in field trials.

Read that study and more this week in Science: https://t.co/0SmI5qA2CI

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Bioengineering soybean plants to improve regulation of photoprotection improved soybean seed yield by up to 33% in field trials. The results in Science could enable a much-needed strategy to increase crop yield and support global food security sustainably. https://t.co/Xt0gFAZXlE
