Is it possible to reduce maturity time of plants with biotechnology?
Perhaps investigate the families of YUC genes that synthesize the growth hormone auxin (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6941117) and ARF genes (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4737911) that respond to auxin. Auxin overproduction or changes to ARFs might speed growth. But some herbicides are synthetic auxins (e.g. 2,4-D) and work by exhausting and killing weeds (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic_acid), so modifying these pathways may have unwanted side effects, depending on the crop.
