>>13804063>we can improve enzymesAgain, what are the unintended consequences? Besides, zinc and copper uptake is more related with the cation exchange capacity of the soil and interactions with the soil, as well as its concentrations overall, which are finite, even with unsustainable inputs that have to be harvested somewhere else and then shipped far distances.
>we can.. How? Give me some specific ideas, not some vague Zuckerberg-tier marketing shit. What happens when higher rates of photosynthesis lead to higher carbon fixation overall, putting stress on the vascular system of the plant with just sheer, unaccounted for mass? What happens when glucose concentrations force extreme water potentials too high for the xylem or phloem to handle? What happens when your now abundantly growing apical meristems are pumping out auxins and other hormones that are now so out of wack that various other plants can't make proper sense of what's happening? What if it gets attacked by bacteria or fungi but the plant can't properly respond because it's immune system's hormonal response is not in ratio to its growth factor hormones?
My point is that you now have to massively redesign the WHOLE PLANT because you just changed one of the most important bottle necks that has shaped plants for their entire evolutionary period. The entire plant's structure is relative to the current efficiency of that enzyme, which is clear because this existed before plants even existed.
