Excellent- More about Instant Insights: Optimising Photosynthesis in Crops
This collection of peer-reviewed reviews explores optimizing photosynthesis in crops by discussing the biochemistry, regulation, and limitation of the C3 photosynthesis cycle, phenotyping techniques, modifying mesophyll conductance, improving photosynthesis in rice, and selecting for important traits in wheat.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 148 pages
Publication date: 19 December 2023
Publisher: Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited
This comprehensive collection offers five peer-reviewed reviews that delve into the optimization of photosynthesis in crops. In the first chapter, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the biochemistry, regulation, and limitations of the C3 photosynthesis cycle in crops. They explore in detail the processes of CO2 assimilation, carboxylation, reduction, and regeneration within this cycle, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms that govern photosynthetic efficiency.
The second chapter delves into the emerging field of using phenotyping techniques to analyze crop functionality and photosynthesis. The authors examine the relationship between photosynthesis, crop growth, and stress response, and discuss the potential of phenotyping photosynthesis in diverse environments. They explore how these techniques can be used to identify genetic variations and optimize photosynthetic performance.
The third chapter focuses on the process of modifying mesophyll conductance to optimize photosynthesis in crops. The authors discuss recent research efforts aimed at manipulating the structure and composition of cells walls, membranes, and liquid phases to enhance photosynthetic efficiency. They explore the potential benefits of these modifications in improving crop yield and productivity.
The fourth chapter explores the optimization of photosynthesis in rice, emphasizing the need to enhance photosynthetic efficiency as a means of boosting yield ceilings in rice production. The authors discuss the challenges faced by rice crops in terms of photosynthetic efficiency and highlight the potential of genetic engineering and other approaches to improve photosynthetic performance.
The final chapter provides a comprehensive review of the key factors determining photosynthetic performance and explores the options for improving the photosynthetic capacity and efficiency of wheat. The authors discuss the importance of selecting for a range of important traits, such as photosynthetic capacity, light interception, and carbon assimilation, to enhance wheat productivity.
Overall, this collection offers valuable insights into the optimization of photosynthesis in crops, highlighting the latest research and technological advancements in this field. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the biochemistry, regulation, and limitations of photosynthesis, as well as the potential of phenotyping and genetic engineering in improving crop productivity.
