Photorespiration (oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle) is a process in which
photosynthates burn down due to oxidative action of RUBISCO. This led to 25% reduction in …

Publisher Summary The relationship of photosynthetic capability and crop yield is not a
simple one. Yield is an integration of the effects of numerous factors on many physiological …

The increasing concentrations of CO2 and other “greenhouse gases” are expected to
change temperature, rainfall, and cloudiness. Since the late 17th century we have been …

The realization that crop yields are reaching a plateau, while population increases continue
at pace, has placed manipulation of photosynthesis in a central position to achieve …

Only a small proportion of elevated CO2 studies on crops have taken place in the field. They
generally confirm results obtained in controlled environments: CO2 increases …

Human society is now inadvertently conducting a great biological and environmental
experiment, the outcome of which is not known. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is …

The present overview paper reviews knowledge on plant metabolism under elevated
atmospheric CO2 concentrations (e [CO2]) with regard to underpinning options for the …

Carbon assimilation and rate of carbon flow through metabolic pathways will increase, and
will thus raise the potential for plant growth. Atmospheric carbon dioxide provides, through …

Main conclusion The improvement of photosynthesis using biotechnological approaches
has been the focus of much research. It is now vital that these strategies be assessed under …
