Genetic Engineering is also expected to increase productivity. For this purpose, stromata might be alterned to boost carbon dioxide intake or cut down on water loss. The efficiency of the enzymes RuBP carboxylase which captures Co2 in plants could be improved. A team of Japanese scientists is working in introducing the C4 photosynthetic cycle into rice. Unlike C3 plants. C4 plants do well in hot dry weather. These modifications would require a more complete enigneering of plant cells than the single gene transfers that have been done so far.
