Background: A novel technology to increase tissue succulence in plants using genetic engineering. Tissue succulence is an important plant trait that improves the drought attenuation of plants, improves salinity tolerance, and can optimize the performance of crassulacean acid metabolism. As climate change brings hotter and drier conditions to agricultural...

Engineering Crassulacean Acid Metabolism to Improve Water-Use Efficiency

Background: A novel technology to increase the water-use efficiency and drought tolerance in plants using synthetic biological approaches. Crassulacean acid metabolisms (CAM) is a specialized form of photosynthesis that reduces crop water demands by 3-to-6-fold compared with non-CAM species by shifting all or part of atmospheric CO2 fixation from the...
