New study shows how targeted potassium transport improves yield and drought tolerance in cassava As published in Nature Plants on 17 December 2025 DOI: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-025-02159-7 An international research team from the Cassava Source-Sink (CASS) consortium has achieved an important breakthrough in cassava improvement. In their newly published paper, the scientists report that introducing a modified potassium channel gene from Arabidopsis thaliana into

The 3rd Carbon Allocation Workshop, held at INRAE in Versailles, France, brought together international experts to explore how plants allocate, transport, and store carbon — a fundamental process that underpins plant growth, productivity, and resilience. Carbon allocation in plants is a dynamic and multifaceted process influenced by genetics, physiology, and environmental interactions. Advances in molecular biology, biotechnology, and imaging have shed new light on how carbon
