OPPORTUNITIES FOR SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY IN CROP PROTECTION

10

Improving yield by increasing crop efficiency and production:• Improve photosynthesis efficiency• Improve soil nutrients, water, and CO2 use efficiency• Increase nitrogen fixation by host engineering or microbiome

Maintaining crop yields under abiotic stress:• Minimize change in crop development times expected under higher

temperatures• Reduce heat- and water-stress-response during critical reproductive periods• Reduce transpiration in high temperatures

Maintaining crop yield under biotic stress:• Native or insect or disease resistant traits• Transgenic or wild relatives insect or disease traits• Microbiome engineering
