What happened
Hudson River and Plantik are partnering to develop heat-tolerant strawberries by combining gene-editing and elite-germplasm technologies. The research started by identifying a heat-tolerant genetic region from tomatoes, which provided a starting point for the project. First commercial field trials are slated for spring and summer 2028.

Why it matters
The partnership is working to address increasing risks for produce growers caused by abnormal weather patterns and heat stress. The ability to cultivate heat-tolerant crops could significantly impact the supply and viability of commercial strawberry farming.
