Add to ORKGEvery day almost one billion people suffer from chronic hunger, and the situation is expected to deteriorate with a projected population growth to 9 billion worldwide by 2050. In order to provide adequate nutrition into the future, rice yields in Asia need to increase by 60%, a change that may be achieved by introduction of the C4 photosynthetic cycle into rice. The international C4 Rice Consortium was founded in order to test the feasibility of installing the C4 engine into rice. This review provides an update on two of the many approaches employed by the C4 Rice Consortium: namely, metabolic C4 engineering and identification of determinants of leaf anatomy by mutant screens. The aim of the metabolic C4 engineering approach is to generate ...
