Soybean photosynthesis and crop yield are improved by accelerating recovery from photoprotection
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Science"
DOI: 10.1126/science.adc9831
Abstract: Crop leaves in full sunlight dissipate damaging excess absorbed light energy as heat. This protective dissipation continues after the leaf transitions to shade, reducing crop photosynthesis. A bioengineered acceleration of this adjustment increased photosynthetic efficiency… read more here.
