Editing a pair of genes in tomato plants boosts the fruit's sugar levels by up to 30%, demonstrating that genetic modification can enhance sweetness without affecting size.
Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to deactivate genes coding for a protein that degrades sugar-production enzymes, resulting in much sweeter tomatoes, fundamental for agricultural innovation.
By using real-time data from around 40 million mobile phones, researchers can improve satellite navigation and scientific studies of the ionosphere, reducing GPS errors by 10-20%.
Innovative use of smartphones as receivers helps scientists fill observational gaps in mapping atmospheric conditions, a novel approach that has potential implications for navigation and atmospheric science.
