Rice Plants Engineered for Better Photosynthesis Make More Rice |
A study published in the journal Molecular Plant reports that a new bioengineering approach for boosting photosynthesis in rice plants could increase grain yield by up to 27%. Called GOC bypass, the approach enriches plant cells with CO2 that would otherwise be lost through photorespiration. The genetically engineered plants were greener and larger and showed increased photosynthetic efficiency and productivity under field conditions, with particular advantages in bright light.
