How to save the world from hunger
Scientists at the University of Illinois changed the photosynthesis in plants that will allow you to get more yield using less water and fertilizer.
Researchers have modified the tobacco seeds to grown from them plants process more sunlight and carbon dioxide, and this helped to accelerate the growth of tobacco by 20%, writes MIT Technology Review.
As noted, scientists are now working on other crops. Now the plants are placed in a greenhouse, but in the following months, the researchers will move the sample into the open field, and observe whether they grow more or faster than usual.
If the experiment succeeds, it will allow you to get more yield in the long term will help to feed the world.
The main objective of the project, funded by the bill and Melinda gates Foundation, to improve yields of food crops such as cassava and some that are important sources of calories and protein for many poor countries.
