New Study Could Lead to Bumper Crops
Recent research from a team in Australia shows a new way to help study and ramp up photosynthesis
Scientists Rewire Photosynthesis to Fuel Our Future
If we could replace even a part of fossil fuel-produced hydrogen with algal biohydrogen that is made via light and water, it would have a substantial impact
Scientists Take a Step Closer to Heat-Tolerant Wheat
Researchers working on molecular-level responses in crops have taken a step closer to their goal of producing heat-tolerant wheat
Too Much Sugar Doesn't Put the Brakes on Turbocharged Crops
Recent research into highly productive crops such as maize and sorghum show the secret to their productivity could lie in their sugar sensing responses
Photosynthesis Olympics: Can the Best Wheat Varieties Be Even Better?
Scientists found that the best performing wheat varieties were more than 30 percent better than the worst performing ones and up to 90 percent of the differences were due to their genes
Discovery of a Bottleneck Relief in Photosynthesis May Have a Major Impact on Food Crops
Researchers found that increasing the production of a key protein increases photosynthesis by 10 percent
