Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

Global warming threatens food security by decreasing crop yields through damage to
photosynthetic systems, especially Rubisco activation. We examined whether co …

Agriculture is facing a massive increase in demand per hectare as a result of an ever-
expanding population and environmental deterioration. While we have learned much about …

Photosynthesis is an essential metabolic pathway for plants, contributing to growth and
biomass production. Environmental adverse conditions have a negative impact on …

Source traits are currently of great interest for the enhancement of yield potential; for
example, much effort is being expended to find ways of modifying photosynthesis. However …

The Triticum aestivum (wheat) genome encodes three isoforms of Rubisco activase (Rca)
differing in thermostability, which could be exploited to improve the resilience of this crop to …

Understanding processes in sources and sinks that contribute to crop yields has taken years
of painstaking research. For crop yield improvement, processes need to be understood as …

Regulating the central CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is as complex as its ancient reaction
mechanism and involves interaction with a series of cofactors and auxiliary proteins that …

Low technological knowledge in production chains, global climate change, and
misinformation are concrete threats to food security. In addition, these combined threats also …
