Abstract
Engineering crops to withstand environmental stresses is critical for addressing climate change and food insecurity. Recently, Khan et al. developed CRISPR interference (CRISPRi)-based synthetic gene circuits to program gene expression in plants. Their findings highlight the potential of these circuits to advance the development of stress-resilient crops.
