Plant-animal hybrid cells make solar-powered tissues, organs or meat
Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing organs and tissues for transplant, or lab-grown meat.

Is Hacking Photosynthesis the Key to Increasing Crop Yields?
This past summer, a widespread drought across the United States lowered crop yields by as much as one-third as corn, wheat, barley and other plants suffered from too much heat and too little water. It's a scenario that will likely become more common as climate change makes much of the world a hotter, drier place.
