Salk Tests Deep-Root Soybeans for Carbon Storage — 7hResearchers at the Salk Institute are engineering soybean plants with deeper, vertical root systems to dodge drought and substantially increase underground carbon storage, supported by an $18 million Bezos Earth Fund grant for field trials and scalability testing in Illinois. While early results show larger, deeper root systems and genome-guided traits linked to carbon storage, scientists still must verify real-world yields and how long the stored carbon remains underground before these crops can be deployed widely.

Rachel Meyers Engineering these traits sounds useful, but they need to confirm it works at scale before expecting wide adoption.
