Enhancing Photosynthesis for Climate-Resilient Super Crops
Abstract
Research intensely focuses on enhancing photosynthetic efficiency to boost crop yields and ensure food security under climate change. Strategies involve engineering the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle, optimizing light harvesting, and improving key enzymes like RuBisCO. Scientists are also addressing challenges posed by environmental stresses and climate change through breeding for resilience and developing novel phenotyping methods. The genetic basis of photosynthetic traits is being leveraged for targeted crop improvement, with efforts spanning staple crops like rice and biofuel plants like Miscanthus. A multidisciplinary approach integrating genetics, biochemistry, and agronomy is driving progress towards higher agricultural productivity.
