Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute
toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple …

Fifty years ago, the C4 photosynthetic pathway was first characterized. In the subsequent
five decades, much has been learned about C4 plants, such that it is now possible to place …

Nitrogen (N) is a major component of the photosynthetic apparatus and is widely used as a
fertilizer in crops. However, to the best of our knowledge, the dynamic of photosynthesis …

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic
acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance …

With a rapidly growing world population and dwindling natural resources, we are now facing
the enormous challenge of increasing crop yields while simultaneously improving the …

With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the interconversion of
CO 2 and HCO 3− and are ubiquitous in nature. Higher plants contain three evolutionarily …

The C4 photosynthetic carbon cycle is an elaborated addition to the C3 photosynthetic
pathway. It evolved as an adaptation to high light intensities, high temperatures, and …

Ever since the discovery of C4 photosynthesis in the mid-1960s, plant biologists have
envisaged the introduction of the C4 photosynthetic pathway into C3 crops such as rice and …

Crop yields need to nearly double over the next 35 years to keep pace with projected
population growth. Improving photosynthesis, via a range of genetic engineering strategies …
