With Decibel's epigenetic reprogramming platform, farmers could apply a treatment that boosts the genes that protect the plant's photosynthetic machinery from extreme heat, keeping it productive instead of shutting down under stress. This same approach works for drought, excess rainfall, and even yield enhancement. When water is scarce, a farmer could trigger drought-response genes to help crops conserve moisture. Before an expected storm, crops could be adjusted for stronger stalks to resist lodging.
