I wonder if this can be used for non food plants as well. Can we implant it in trees to grow them much more quickly?

- iamnotwhoiam 5y agoThat's a different pathway, right? I'm imagining someday we use both in bamboo and have massive forests that we continuously cutdown and use for construction and the leftover gets turned into biochar and either used to make more soil or to fill up mines with sequestered carbon.
- colechristensen 5y agoOh, yes. Related only in that it is messing with genetics to get more production.
