Evans, T.C. Vogelmann, and S. von Caemmerer 330 $aFeeding Asia in the 21st century will require a second Green Revolution. However, unlike in the first generation, future yield increases will have to be grown using less water and nitrogen in a world of unfavorable climate change - this can only be done by increasing the efficiency of the photosynthetic system, i.e. developing a C4 rice plant. If and when achieved, it would be the first nonevolutionary example of reconstructing the primary metabolism of a plant. The impact of such a scientific achievement would be undeniable, but it requires either a superb feat of genetic engineering or forc 606 $aRice$xGenetic engineering 606 $aRice$xYields 606 $aCrop yields 606 $aPhotosynthesis 615 0$aRice$xGenetic engineering. 615 0$aRice$xYields. 615 0$aCrop yields. 615 0$aPhotosynthesis. 676 $a633.182 701 $aSheehy$b J.
