Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science 130 - Understanding and improving crop photosynthesis

Provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research which addresses how to sustainably achieve higher yields through improving the rate of C₃ photosynthesis in crops Assesses current practices implemented to optimise photosynthesis in crops, including the modification of crop elements such as leaf/canopy architecture Explores our understanding of the biophysics, biochemistry and genetics of C₃ photosynthesis in crops and how this can be used to improve photosynthesis in C4 and C₃ crops
