Eukaryotic microalgae have been classified into several biological divisions and have
evolutionarily acquired diverse morphologies, metabolisms, and life cycles. They are …

The goal of increasing crop productivity and nutrient‐use efficiency is being addressed by a
number of ambitious research projects seeking to re‐engineer photosynthetic biochemistry …

Crop leaves in full sunlight dissipate damaging excess absorbed light energy as heat. When
sunlit leaves are shaded by clouds or other leaves, this protective dissipation continues for …

Photosynthetic efficiency is a major target for improvement of crop yield potential under
agricultural field conditions. Inefficiencies can occur in many steps of the photosynthetic …

Nannochloropsis oceanica is an industrially relevant marine microalga rich in
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, a valuable ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid), yet the algal …

Nannochloropsis oceanica represents a promising sunlight-driven eukaryotic cell factory for
lipids and value-added products. Despite the well-studied lipid metabolism, carotenoid …

Our basic understanding of carbon cycling in the biosphere remains qualitative and
incomplete, precluding our ability to effectively engineer novel solutions to climate change …

Fucoxanthin and its derivatives are the main light-harvesting pigments in the photosynthetic
apparatus of many chromalveolate algae and represent the most abundant carotenoids in …

Enrichment of foodstuffs with health-promoting metabolites such as carotenoids is a
powerful tool to fight against unhealthy eating habits. Dietary carotenoids are vitamin A …

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a high-yielding annual crop primarily grown for fiber,
seeds, and oil. Due to the phytochemical composition of hemp, there has been an increased …
