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...
