At first glance, duckweed may seem innocuous and even a little too common to be of any interest. But it’s an excellent source of protein.
Plants aren’t always as good at photosynthesis as you might think. Our research project wants to help them.
Many of the crop plants that feed us waste 20 percent of their energy, especially in hot weather. Plant geneticists prove that capturing this energy could boost crop yields by up to 40 percent.
A recent breakthrough in photosynthesis improvement has come from examining RuBisCO – an enzyme involved in the first major…
