Photosynthesis started to evolve some 3.5 billion years ago CO2 is the substrate for
photosynthesis and in the past 200–250 years, atmospheric levels have approximately …

In this Perspective article, we describe the visions of the PhotoRedesign consortium funded
by the European Research Council of how to enhance photosynthesis. The light reactions of …

In this review, we highlight recent research and current ideas on how to improve the
efficiency of the light reactions of photosynthesis in crops. We note that the efficiency of …

Global food production will need to increase more than 50% before 2050 to satisfy the food
and fuel demands of an increasing population. Despite the fact that more than 90% of crop …

The light-dependent release of oxygen from plants was first discovered in the 1770s by
Joseph Priestley and Jan Ingenhousz. More recently, the enzyme-catalyzed pathway of …

Photosynthesis is central to life on Earth, employing sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to
produce chemical energy and oxygen. It is generally accepted that boosting its efficiency …

Photosynthesis is the basis of primary productivity on the planet. Crop breeding has
sustained steady improvements in yield to keep pace with population growth increases. Yet …

Photosynthesis is fundamental to biomass production, but is a dynamic process sensitive to
environmental constraints. In recent years, approaches to increase biomass and grain yield …

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 …

Much attention has been given to the enhancement of photosynthesis as a strategy for the
optimization of crop productivity. As traditional plant breeding is most likely reaching a …
