This project aims to enhance the efficiency of C3 crops by introducing traits from C4 photosynthesis, which is more productive and resource-efficient. By improving CO2 fixation, water usage, and fertilizer needs, the project seeks to boost agricultural yields and reduce environmental impacts, particularly in staple cro…
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation.
However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis.
The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth.
In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen.
Overall, our aim is to introduce the characteristics of C4 into C3 crops.
This would increase yield, reduce land area needed for cultiva…
