Imagine that as a farmer (who also has an excellent educational background) you can partner with genetic engineers to design the perfect crop for the changing climate of the region that your chose. Begin by choosing a crop that is common in the region in which you have decided to live. Then describe how you would genetically engineer your crop to deal with projected future climate change for that region with an emphasis on photosynthetic pathways. For this answer you should consider ways in which you might make your crop more efficient within the context of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations, temperature, and precipitation. But you must choose a definitive pathway or pathways for your crop â you cannot design a âsmartâ crop that can sense climate and adjust accordingly.
I'm doing potatoes in the Northwest region, I know it usually uses C3 pathways, I'm not sure what an ideal genetically engineered one would look like!
