With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop
improvement have probably reached their limits, a further increase in the productivity of
crops is expected to be possible using genetic engineering. The number of potential genes
and metabolic pathways, which when genetically modified could result in improved
photosynthesis and biomass production, is multiple. Photosynthesis, as the only source of …
