Photosynthesis-based multi-approach crop breeding. Plant photosynthesis, and therefore, growth is determined by multiple regulatory mechanisms. Previous studies have identified traits that may be targeted for modification to improve CO2 assimilation rates and yield. Alongside traditional breeding programs, modern techniques enable the development of synthetic biology and genetic engineering to develop crops that are better adapted to stress.
