Current and possible approaches for improving photosynthetic efficiency [PDF]
One of the most important tasks laying ahead today's biotechnology is to improve crop productivity with the aim of meeting increased food and energy demands of humankind. Plant productivity depends on many genetic factors, including life cycle, harvest index, stress tolerance and photosynthetic activity. Many approaches were already tested or suggested

Optimizing source-sink relationships and photoprotective mechanisms in wheat to enhance photosynthetic efficiency and nitrogen management [PDF]
Although the source-sink relationship is an intrinsic factor affecting crop photosynthesis, the response of different source-sink types to nitrogen (N) availability in photoprotection and photosynthetic efficiency is still unclear.

Improving photosynthetic efficiency toward food security: Strategies, advances, and perspectives [PDF]
Photosynthesis in both crops and natural vegetation allows light energy to be converted into chemical energy, and thus forms the foundation for almost all terrestrial trophic networks on Earth.

Low levels of ribosomal RNA partly account for the very high photosynthetic phosphorus-use efficiency of Proteaceae species [PDF]
Proteaceae species in south-western Australia occur on phosphorus- (P) impoverished soils. Their leaves contain very low P levels, but have relatively high rates of photosynthesis.

Changes of Photosynthesis Efficiency during the Process of Modern Maize Breeding [PDF]
Crop yield has always been an important problem in solving the demand of the global population increase and food supply. In addition to increasing planting density, improving crop photosynthetic efficiency is the most effective measurement to increase ...

Carboxysome encapsulation of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco in tobacco chloroplasts
Previous efforts to assemble Rubisco within a cyanobacterial carboxysome-derived protein shell in plant chloroplasts to concentrate CO2 have been unsuccessful. Here, Long et al. produce carboxysomes in tobacco chloroplasts that encapsulate the introduced

Realising increased photosynthetic efficiency to increase strawberry yields [PDF]
As the global population continues to rise, new solutions are required to increase productivity of food systems. One such approach is to increase the efficiency of crop photosynthesis by genetic manipulation of rate-limiting enzymes, a method proven to
