Development of C4 Plants by rDNA Technology
Harnessing Advanced Genetics to Revolutionize Agriculture
Skills you will gain:
The Development of C4 Plants by rDNA Technology program is a groundbreaking initiative that leverages the latest advancements in genetic engineering to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in agriculture. By focusing on the integration of C4 photosynthesis pathways into C3 plants, which include many of the world’s staple crops such as rice and wheat, the program aims to dramatically increase photosynthetic efficiency and water use efficiency. This scientific endeavor not only promises to enhance crop yields but also to improve resilience against increasingly erratic weather patterns due to climate change.
