Photosynthesis is central to life on Earth, employing sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to
produce chemical energy and oxygen. It is generally accepted that boosting its efficiency …

In natural ecosystems, plants compete for space, nutrients and light. The optically dense
canopies limit the penetration of photosynthetically active radiation and light often becomes …

Abstract Far‐red photons (701–750 nm) are abundant in sunlight but are considered
inactive for photosynthesis and are thus excluded from the definition of photosynthetically …

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence is a valuable feature for
the study of photosynthetic organisms' light utilization and dissipation. However, all too often …

Plants compete for light partly by over-producing chlorophyll in leaves. The resulting high
light absorption is an effective strategy for out competing neighbors in mixed communities …

While optimising leaf chlorophyll content ([CHL]) has been proposed as a relevant means to
manipulate canopy light penetration and canopy photosynthesis, effects of modifying [CHL] …

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms that can generate, in addition
to biomass, useful chemicals and proteins/enzymes, essentially from sunlight, carbon …

Improving photosynthetic efficiency has long been considered as an important strategy to
increase crop yield. Optimization of antenna size of photosynthetic systems is one strategy to …

Duckweed is a promising food crop with multiple benefits for space applications. Fresh
duckweed could deliver synergistically acting essential antioxidant nutrients to a crew–but …

Photosynthetic light-harvesting antennae are pigment-binding proteins that perform one of
the most fundamental tasks on Earth, capturing light and transferring energy that enables life …
