Feeding the ever-growing population is a major challenge, especially in light of rapidly
changing climate conditions. Genome editing is set to revolutionize plant breeding and …

The first paradigm of plant breeding involves direct selection-based phenotypic observation,
followed by predictive breeding using statistical models for quantitative traits constructed …

The Paris Agreement's goal of limiting the increase in global temperature to 1.5° or 2° C
above preindustrial levels requires rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Although …

Artificial photosynthesis systems are proposed as an efficient alternative route to capture
CO2 to produce additional food for growing global demand. Here a two-step CO2 …

Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

The root: shoot ratio has long been known to be enhanced in plants under drought stress.
Here we discovered that osmotic stress enhances long-distance sucrose transport to …

Photosynthesis is crucial for the survival of all living biota, playing a key role in plant
productivity by generating the carbon skeleton that is the primary component of all …

Rapid increases of energy consumption and human dependency on fossil fuels have led to
the accumulation of greenhouse gases and consequently, climate change. As such, major …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …
