In the ongoing effort to enhance crop efficiency, researchers have uncovered key genetic components of photosynthesis in tomatoes. A new study highlights the PetM domain-containing protein, crucial ...

Using a three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model validated in real greenhouse conditions, they found that enhancing parameters such as light quantum efficiency under limiting light (κ₂LL) and ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

This was then fed to plants as a carbon source, essentially bypassing natural photosynthesis. The team tested the technique on a series of crop plants and food-producing microbes, including yeast, ...

Every year, abiotic stress factors such as drought, heat, salinity or high light intensity—combined with unfavorable soil conditions caused by human activity (herbicides, pH changes, or various ...
