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

Photorespiration is an essential process juxtaposed between plant carbon and nitrogen metabolism that responds to dynamic environments. Photorespiration recycles inhibitory intermediates arising from ...

A new bioengineering approach for boosting photosynthesis in rice plants could increase grain yield by up to 27 percent, according to a new study. The approach, called GOC bypass, enriches plant cells ...

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 ...

Ancient trees may have played a key role in regulating Earth's climate during the last ice age—by 'breathing' less efficiently. The researchers found that as temperature and CO 2 levels dropped, trees ...

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 ...

Low atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are thought to suppress land plant productivity in part by promoting photorespiration, wherein illuminated C 3 plants uptake molecular oxygen and release carbon ...

Most crops on the planet are plagued by a photosynthetic glitch, and to deal with it, evolved an energy-expensive process called photorespiration that drastically suppresses their yield potential.
