Alternative Routes to Improving Photosynthesis in Field Crops

Niaz Ahmad et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2020 Oct.

Abstract

Photosynthesis is an important biochemical reaction that forms the basis of all food chains. Its efficiency is considered a key determinant of crop productivity. Therefore, improving photosynthetic efficiency has been a focus of intensive research. Here, we highlight simple approaches, recently reported by Chen et al. and Degen et al., to increase photosynthetic efficiency in field crops.

Keywords: climate change; crop yield; photoinhibition; photosynthesis.
