| Abstract | This study aims to seek possible ways of increasing the CO2 absorption of plants and alga through the targets of genes regulating the structure and activities of RuBisCO using CRISPR - Cas 9 technology. If successful, there will potentially be a number of benefits on the aspects of moderating global warming and increasing crop yield. |
