A study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration, a metabolic process that can reduce productivity by up to ...

A newly discovered pathway in a plant process could help farmers grow more successful crops, particularly in places where harsh, high light stresses plants. Photorespiration works in association with ...

A newly discovered pathway in a plant process could help farmers grow more successful crops, particularly in places where harsh, high light stresses plants. The pathway complements the main workflow ...

Researchers have found a way to improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration. This metabolic process, which occurs alongside photosynthesis, can reduce crop productivity by up to 36%.

New research has uncovered genetic modifications, altering the photorespiration pathway, that could improve crop yields by 40%. New research conducted at the University of Illinois (IL, USA) and led ...

A genetic hack to make photosynthesis more efficient could be a boon for agricultural production, at least for some plants. This feat of genetic engineering simplifies a complex, energy-expensive ...

Photosynthetic efficiency in crop plants is governed by the capacity to convert light energy into chemical energy and to fix atmospheric CO₂ into biomass. Central to this process is Rubisco, the ...

Scientists have puzzled over the existence of photorespiration, a seemingly wasteful process in plants that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Now UC Davis plant scientist Arnold Bloom has ...
