Abstract

In this issue of Cell, Xu and colleagues develop an approach integrating genome editing, artificial intelligence, and robotics to enhance crop improvement. By reconfiguring reproductive traits for automated pollination in crops such as tomatoes and soybeans, their approach accelerates hybrid seed production and yields crops with better stress tolerance, flavor, and resilience, supporting sustainable agriculture and crop diversity.
