Abstract The purpose of this project was to increase the lifespan and Growth rate of a C3 plant to be similar to that of a C4 plant.If it was proven that the growth rate and lifespan could be enhanced, this would benefit any person who owns or grows C3 plants, who leaves their home for a long period of time, or a farmer who experiences a drought.
