Their discovery should help biologists better understand how the steadily increasing levels of CO2 in our atmosphere (which last spring for the first time in recorded history remained above 400 parts per million) are affecting the ability of plants and economically important crops to deal with heat stress and drought.

and shares many of the same genes as other plants and crops he and his team of biologists discovered that the proteins encoded by the four genes they discovered repress the development of stomata at elevated CO2 levels.
Using a combination of systems biology and bioinformatic techniques the scientists cleverly isolated proteins which when mutated abolished the plantâ##s ability to respond to CO2 stress.

reducing emissions sequestering carbon through biological means on land and in the ocean storing carbon dioxide in a liquefied form in underground geological formations and wells increasing Earth's cloud cover and solar reflection.
Of the five options the group evaluated sequestering carbon through biological means --or converting atmospheric carbon into solid sources of carbon like plants--holds the most promise.
Improving soil management is another biological means of carbon sequestration that holds considerable promise because soils can trap plant materials that have converted already atmospheric carbon dioxide into a solid form as well as any carbon dioxide that the solids give off as they decompose.
The study also advocates a less familiar form of biological sequestration: the burial of biochar.
But not all biological sequestration would be so beneficial. The researchers evaluated the idea of adding iron to oceans

â oethe design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems and the redesign of existing,
natural biological systems for useful purposes â oea scientific discipline that relies on chemically synthesized DNA,
and fabrication of biological components and systems that do not already exist in the natural world,
and on the redesign and fabrication of existing biological systems Or, as explained by Paul Freemont of the Centre for Synthetic biology at Imperial College in London,
and that allows us to design biological systems from scratch, just as an engineer designs and builds a piece of equipment starting from basics.
