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.
