Harnessing natural variation for photosynthetic improvement in next-generation crop breeding.

Abstract excerpt

Because agriculture is confronted with escalating climatic and resource challenges, next-generation breeding requires innovative strategies to sustain and enhance crop productivity. As the foundation of carbon fixation in plants, photosynthesis strongly affects crop yield potential. Therefore, improving photosynthetic performance remains a central goal for crop improvement. Plants show substantial natural genetic...
