[DIYbio] Re: Ethics of Guerrilla planting Transgenic plants

>Responding to the live-designers in the thread: There is the possibility for real improvements, like replacing native Rubisco with a bacterial variant.
Plants like that would be impossible to control (and a PR-disaster for DIY-bio).

yes they would be impossible to control.... In a CO2 chamber. Bad PR.

As far as I can understand the limiting mechanism in plants with a bacterial RuBisCO is timely CO2 acquisition. Plants are too slow and need carboxysomes that never made it.

Anyone want to develop this idea any further? :)
