Synthetic biology: A powerful booster for future agriculture
Lanteng Wang | Xin Zang | Jiahai Zhou
Abstract: Future agricultural development needs to solve the food security crisis caused by the global food shortage and the environmental demand for green and sustainable technology. The vigorous development of synthetic biology has brought new opportunities for modern agriculture. Synthetic biology can transform crops' metabolic pathways and genetic information and involves microorganisms' application in agriculture. Therefore, it has bright prospects in crop breeding and yield increase and ensuring the safety of the agricultural production environment. This perspective summarizes the application status and future development of synthetic biology in agriculture from the aspects of plant breeding, photosynthetic system, nitrogen fixation, and microorganisms.
