    Would it be possible with today's technology to modify a plant or plants to survive on mars and to pump out oxegen.

    Obviously you would need to create a series of different plants that would be best suited to the different atmospheres between mars and our own and replace them as necessary.

    This assumes there is water of some sort available on mars.

    You first need to raise the temperature of the planet which can be done by releasing large quantites of super greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

    This will release CO2 into the atmosphere. By estimates, the temperature of Mars could get beyond freezing and atmospheric pressure would increase to something like earth at 4,000m.

    At this point, you could plant certain plants which would start to release oxegyn.

    Obviously, not much detail in the plan but this is how they could go about it.
