Spectral analysis to predict photosynthetic capacity

2010-07-22 04:09:21 TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Stuart Williams- (FILES) - The sun beats down on wheat growing in Mokrye Kurnali on July 20, 2010. Leading wheat exporter Russia cut its grain harvest forecast by millions of tonnes on August 3, 2010 owing to the worst drought for decades, adding to concerns pushing wheat prices to a two-year high point. Russia, currently the world's number three wheat exporter, has seen 20 percent of its arable land (10 million hectares) scorched by a heatwave which has also hit its ambitions to raise its share of global markets.

How much can enhancing photosynthesis improve yield?

Scientists Don Ort (right), Paul South (center) and Amanda Cavanagh (left) study how well their plants modified to bypass photorespiration perform beside non-modified plants in real-world conditions. They found that plants engineered with a synthetic shortcut are about 40 percent more productive.
