Redesigning Rice Photosynthesis to Increase Yield: by P. L. Mitchell,B. Hardy,J. E. Sheehy

By P. L. Mitchell,B. Hardy,J. E. Sheehy

Rice yields have to elevate so that it will maintain speed with the starting to be inhabitants of Asia and to relieve starvation and poverty. There looks, even if, to be a biophysical restrict linked to traditional photosynthetic pathways. The examine awarded during this publication goals at knowing how the rice plant's photosynthetic pathway may be redesigned to beat present yield limits. the criteria controlling yield are mentioned from the agronomic to the molecular point. customers for making improvements to rice photosynthesis comprise utilizing genetic engineering to transform rice right into a C4 plant.

The a variety of chapters during this e-book take care of photosynthesis; a comparability of C3 and C4 pathways; genes body structure and serve as, and in addition speak about this within the broader context of financial results of yield advancements for poverty, the molecular genetics of photosynthesis, and ecophysiological and evolutionary views of photosynthesis in wetlands.

Researchers on rice, photosynthesis, agronomy, genetic engineering, and meals coverage will locate a lot of curiosity during this book.
