Boosting Plant Root Growth could help in reducing atmospheric carbon

Arabidopsis thaliana,  a single gene in a model organism in plant biology, have been found to promote faster-growing and larger root systems, an application that could help researchers engineer bigger, better crops capable of sequestering more atmospheric carbon. This  mean more climate-warming carbon could essentially be buried, because plants build their roots using atmospheric carbon.

I find it interesting because in future we might be able to make the roots of biofuel crops grow bigger and faster.
