Salk Institute engineers deeper-rooted soybeans to store carbon and resist drought

Researchers outline dual benefits: drought resilience and carbon sequestration

The deeper roots are designed to access water below the top soil layer during droughts while storing carbon farther underground where it is less vulnerable to being released during farming operations. The institute also aims to boost carbon storage through larger root systems and increased suberin, a cork-like substance that decomposes more slowly.
