Abstract
Biotic and abiotic environmental stresses significantly jeopardize crop production worldwide. Griffiths et al. recently demonstrated that a sunlight-activated trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) precursor, DMNB-T6P, improved wheat yield by regulating T6P signaling pathways under both water-sufficient and deficient conditions. This offers a scalable technology to improve crop resilience and productivity alongside chemical fertilizers.
