Throughout the growing season seemingly benign clouds pass over millions of acres of crops, causing rapid fluctuations in light intensity and inadvertently robbing these plants of their productivity—this costs us untold bushels of potential yield. In a recent study, researchers used a rapid screening technique that genetically engineers plants—in real time—to investigate how to help plants realize their full potential.
