What are the prospects of introducing or enhancing C₄-like traits (e.g., efficient CO₂ concentration mechanisms) in finger millet to improve photosynthetic efficiency?
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana),also known as "Ragi" itself is a C4 plant that allows it to thrive in harsh environments and under drought conditions due to its high water-use efficiency and tolerance to heat and other stresses..
