The METACAM project investigates the genetic and anatomical basis for combining C4 and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in plants to enhance drought resilience and photosynthetic efficiency. It aims to engineer crops capable of thriving under stressful conditions.
Rising heatwaves and drought are severely affecting the capacity of crops to retain water and capture CO2 during photosynthesis, resulting in global yield reductions.
One of the most promising approaches to enhance crop production in stressful conditions is to synthetically modify the photosynthetic capacity of plants.
In nature, some lineages have evolved mechanisms like C4 photosynthesis and the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to cope with some of these aspects;
While C4 species are extreme…
