A Promising Strategy for Enhancing Photosynthesis and Crop Yields
A proof-of-concept study published in Nature Communications proposes that incorporating engineering components present in certain bacteria into crops could enhance photosynthesis and accelerate crop growth by increasing CO2 levels. This approach may lead to the development of more efficient chloroplasts capable of boosting photosynthesis and improving crop yields, potentially contributing to food security.
According to the authors, this technique could offer a promising approach to enhance crop yields and address the food demands of the world's expanding population.
