and water needed to grow food. Researchers at Cornell University and Rothamsted Research in the United kingdom successfully transplanted genes from a type of bacteria-called cyanobacteria-into tobacco plants
The genes allow the plant to produce a more efficient enzyme for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugars and other carbohydrates.
Scientists have known long that some plants are much more efficient at turning carbon dioxide into sugar than other plants.
Maureen Hansen a professor of molecular biology and genetics at Cornell says the advances won't be seen in commercially grown food crops for at least five or 10 years.
For example higher levels of red light increases tomato yield and the Vitamin c content of mustard spinach and green onions.

then you are relying on microscopic yeast that turns sugars into alcohol. But by borrowing DNA from plants, scientists have been genetically engineering yeasts that can perform each of the steps needed to convert sugar into morphine.

#Flavour delivery particle can cut sugar by half and is cheaper than sugar Developed by inventor
and Douxmatok CEO Avraham Baniel-who used to be part of Tate and Lyle's Splenda team-along with the Warner Babock Institute for Green Chemistry,
a carrier particle is coated with sugar molecules using non-covalent bonding. This increases the surface area meaning the same sweetness can be achieved using less sugar.
Joint CEO Eran Baniel told Foodnavigator that because Douxmatok which means twice as sweet in French
and Hebrew-uses sugar, rather than artificial or alternative sweeteners, consumers'taste expectations are satisfied and there are no aftertaste issues. ee not about reformulation.
