It makes perfect sense from a biological perspective. I am not aware of any transgenic methods to increase yield as that is done through breeding and hybridization. Do you know of a specific seed that has enhanced yields through a crisper like process? I am aware of accelerated mutations by irradiating seeds, though I think this is rare and I only know of red grapefruits that successfully used this technique.

Not sure that anything particularly CRISPR-like is involved (there are other transgenic techniques), but: https://www.science.org/content/article/new-genetically-modified-corn-produces-10-more-similar-types https://www.science.org/content/article/new-genetically-modi...
- jcampbell1 4y agoThanks for the article and I read the paper. I know people have been working on it for ages, but it is nice to see some promising results. One huge problem with the article is this line: > The plants are also 16% to 18% more efficient at using nitrogen The paper said no such thing. These plants take up more nitrogen and increase yield.
