Experiment results with various light scenarios (shafts of light) and different Arabidopsis variants in which the photorespiratory enzymes have been switched off. To the right of the plant images is a ...

The isotopic CO2 technique for measuring photorespiration was shown to be a valid technique for measuring the unidirectional inward and outward fluxes of CO2 from a sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The purpose of this research was to determine the magnitude of photorespiration in field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) as a function of ...

The balance between photosynthetic carbon gain and photorespiratory carbon loss is a key determinant of the productivity of C 3 plants. A study of plant stable isotope signatures suggests that the ...

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

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

Increasing production of a common, naturally occurring protein in plant leaves could boost the yields of major food crops by almost 50 percent, according to a new study. Plants such as soybeans and ...

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 ...

Mankind is set to face a major threat in the coming decades: food security. The United Nations says food production will have to double by 2050 if we are to meet the needs of the ever-increasing ...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important metabolic processes in nature: It is critical for plant growth and thus for the production of plant-based foods. In close cooperation with the Max Planck ...
