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 – you cannot design a ‘smart’ 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!

1. Climate change due to the rapidly increasing levels of greenhouse gases (particularly CO2) in our atmosphere is a serious current global concern. How might stomata density serve as a bioindicator for monitoring the response of plants to changes in greenhouse gas concentrations in the future? (Hint: what do the data say for how stomata density varies with CO2 concentration?

The tropics are considered to be a cradle and a museum, as we've just discussed. Climate change is predicted to disproportionately impact tropical communities – meaning that tropical species are at high risk of extinctions in the future due to changes in climate.

Q: How might this impact biodiversity patterns in the future?
