With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Although cyanobacteria and algae represent a small fraction of the biomass of all primary
producers, their photosynthetic activity accounts for roughly half of the daily CO2 fixation that …

The growth in world population, climate change, and resource scarcity necessitate a
sustainable increase in crop productivity. Photosynthesis in major crops is limited by the …

A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the
introduction of cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant …

Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) contribute to global warming. Limiting
temperature rise requires negative emission techniques to retract the emitted CO 2 from the …

Rising human population, along with the reduction in arable land and the impacts of global
change, sets out the need for continuously improving agricultural resource use efficiency …

The phenomenal increase in agricultural yields that we have witnessed in the last century
has slowed down as we approach the limits of selective breeding and optimization of …

Agriculture is facing a massive increase in demand per hectare as a result of an ever-
expanding population and environmental deterioration. While we have learned much about …
