Germplasm innovation is critical for crop improvement. In this issue, Shen et al. (89‐93) demonstrated the feasibility of improving rice yield using genome editing (the scissors in the cover) and bioinformatic (the numbers in the river) tools. The sun rising above the rice field represents the bright future of the field (Cover design: Kejian Wang and Lan Shen).
