Surveying Rubisco Diversity and Temperature Response to Improve Crop Photosynthetic Efficiency.
The threat to global food security of stagnating yields and population growth makes increasing crop productivity a critical goal over the coming decades. One key target for improving crop productivity and yields is increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis. Central to photosynthesis is Rubisco, which is a critical but often rate-limiting component. Here, we present full Rubisco catalytic prop...
متن کاملIncreasing photosynthetic carbon assimilation in C3 plants to improve crop yield: current and future strategies.
The realization that crop yields are reaching a plateau, while population increases continue at pace, has placed manipulation of photosynthesis in a central position to achieve increases in yield. Increasing flux through the C3 cycle will be a major focus of this effort. Through application of new technologies togetherwith novel modeling approaches, increased yield through improved photosynthet...
متن کاملRubisco activase constrains the photosynthetic potential of leaves at high temperature and CO2.
Net photosynthesis (Pn) is inhibited by moderate heat stress. To elucidate the mechanism of inhibition, we examined the effects of temperature on gas exchange and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activation in cotton and tobacco leaves and compared the responses to those of the isolated enzymes. Depending on the CO(2) concentration, Pn decreased when temperatures exceed...
متن کاملIntegrating crop growth simulation and remote sensing to improve resource use efficiency in farming systems
This study investigated the scope and constraints for integrated use of mechanistic crop growth simulation models and earth observation techniques. Integration of highquality crop growth models and information derived from earth observations can contribute to improved use of resources, reduced crop production risks, reduced environmental degradation, and increased farm income. In the past, both...
متن کاملFACE-ing the global change: Opportunities for improvement in photosynthetic radiation use efficiency and crop yield
The earth is rapidly changing through processes such as rising [CO2], [O3], and increased food demand. By 2050 the projected atmospheric [CO2] and ground level [O3] will be 50% and 20% higher than today. To meet future agricultural demand, amplified by an increasing population and economic progress in developing countries, crop yields will have to increase by at least 50% by the middle of the c...
