Project Giant Tree utilizes a disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens vector to engineer trees that grow twice as fast with 50% to 100% thicker trunks by combining the PXY-CLE41 pathway for aggressive wood cell division with AtGA20ox1 and YUCCA genes for elevated height hormones (Gibberellin and Auxin). Driven 24/7 by the powerful CaMV 35S promoter to bypass the plant's natural growth brakes, this precision multi-gene biotechnology overrides traditional forestry timelines to deliver an ultra-high-yield solution for sustainable timber and rapid carbon sequestration.
