Rice production and research have met unprecedented challenges in recent years. Yield
and total production have plateaued for many years in some major producing rice …

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 …

Crop leaves in full sunlight dissipate damaging excess absorbed light energy as heat. This
protective dissipation continues after the leaf transitions to shade, reducing crop …

The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an
increasing demand for food, feed and other plant‐derived products. In the coming years …

Although leaves are considered the main site for photosynthesis, other green nonfoliar
tissues can carry out considerable amounts of photosynthetic carbon assimilation. With …

High‐throughput crop phenotyping, particularly under field conditions, is nowadays
perceived as a key factor limiting crop genetic advance. Phenotyping not only facilitates …

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 recent decades, genetic advances in yield improvement in the major cereal crops,
including wheat, has stagnated or proceeded at a slower rate than is required to meet future …

Novel crop improvement approaches, including those that facilitate for the exploitation of
crop wild relatives and underutilized species harboring the much-needed natural allelic …

Photosynthesis is a process that uses solar energy to fix CO2 in the air and converts it into
sugar, and ultimately powers almost all life activities on the earth. C3 photosynthesis is the …
