Scientists think that we can boost the absorption of CO2 by simply adding genes and proteines to the leaves of the plant.

The article
is about the discovery of new genes that modifies the shape and the size of the leaves, like the Auxine.

The Auxine is a gene which boosts the growth of the leaves.
There have been discovered other genes, which controlles the size of leaves and flowers, and others which controlles the number of Stomata.
