Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study mainly discusses how to use genetic engineering to improve the photosynthesis of C4 plants, thereby increasing the yield of biofuels. C4 crops, such as sugarcane, corn and sorghum, are regarded as good raw materials for biofuels because they can efficiently utilize carbon dioxide and accumulate more biomass. In recent years, genetic engineering methods have developed rapidly. Methods such as CRISPR/Cas editing, synthetic biology, and multi-omics analysis have all been employed to regulate enzymes, transcription factors, and metabolic pathways related to C4 photosynthesis. These methods make photosynthesis more efficient, nitrogen utilization better, and plants more resilient to adverse conditions. However, there are still many problems to be faced in truly applying these achievements to industries. For instance, the adaptive balance of plants in different environments, biosecurity and regulatory requirements, cost input and the difficulty of promotion, etc. In the future, C4 photosynthesis projects may be combined with the transformation of C3 crops. With the addition of systems biology modeling and collaboration among different disciplines, there is an opportunity to cultivate efficient and low-carbon fuel crops. This is also an important direction for promoting sustainable global energy development. The objective of this review is to summarize these advancements and provide references for subsequent research.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
