In a breakthrough for ag research, researchers have shown that soybeans can be transgenically altered to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and significantly boost crop yields. Researchers with ...

Scientists have transgenically altered soybean plants to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis, resulting in greater yields without loss of quality. For the first time, RIPE researchers have ...

Awash in a rowed sea of its brethren, a corn leaf relegated to the lowest rung of its stem spends much of a June afternoon doused in shade cast by the higher-ups. Then a gust begins pushing, pulling ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be the most ...

“The paper is a really very nice breakthrough. It’s the first instance where it has been possible to demonstrate that, by improving the efficiency of photosynthesis, there is an increase in yield ...

In recent years, nano-fertilizers have gained significant attention as a transformative alternative to conventional fertilizers. Nano-fertilizers enable controlled or slow nutrient release, reducing ...

Chemists have measured the energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins. They discovered that the disorganized arrangement of light-harvesting proteins boosts the efficiency of the ...

A group of RIPE researchers have found, for the first time, that chloroplast size manipulations are unlikely to be an option for increasing crop photosynthetic efficiency. Their work was recently ...

For the first time, researchers for RIPE (Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency) have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field ...
