Climate Change, Photosynthesis and Advanced Biofuels The Role of Biotechnology in the Production of Value-added Plant Bio-products /

The use of fossil fuels results in rising CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, causing global temperature rise and climate change that will negatively impact human health, the food supply, and eventually worsen hunger and misery. Presently, fossil fuels meet 88% of the energy demand, result...
