Programmable Plants

This proposed technology is a method for tunable development of cotton plants to modify and improve sustainable production. The method may improve water use efficiency, and maximize yield under a variety of conditions.

Background:

Plants are susceptible to changing environmental factors which significantly affects crop yield and average profit. The proposed technology is designed to improve cotton plant development.

Applications:

• The proposed technology works to ensure the crop can withstand different types of environmental stresses

Advantages:

• Increase drought tolerance
• Reduced phosphorus requirements
• Increase revenue
• Lower operating costs
• Reduced amount of fertilizer
