Gene editing could help tomatoes produce fruit in cold weather without relying on successful pollination. Cool temperatures can leave a tomato plant looking healthy while bringing fruit production to a halt. Pollen loses viability, anthers open late or fail to open, and flowers drop before fertilization happens. Growers are left with healthy green plants and bare trusses. A new study points to a way around that bottleneck.

Researchers point out that mosquitoes like Anopheles first sense the carbon dioxide humans exhale, then close in on body heat and unique odors.
