With our cutting-edge technology, we can produce more with less land, water, and chemicals, thanks to a discovery of the gene that controls how much daily starch is stored in leaves. We also found that the increased starch allows plants to withstand extreme conditions and thrive during them too! For example, when it comes to droughts or heatwaves - which are common nowadays due to their high frequency--our crops have been shown increase yield compared to other counterparts without any genetic alterations.
