A novel grafting method could allow gene editing in plants like cocoa, coffee, and avocados that are currently hard to modify. Researchers have demonstrated that engineering rootstocks to produce CRISPR components can edit shoots from non-modified plants. This approach promises broader application of precise genetic improvements for agriculture.

The device, called PRIMA, was tested in a study of 32 participants over one year. It provides black-and-white vision by converting images into electrical signals for the retina.
