This odd little plant could help turbocharge crop yields

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to dramatically boost how efficiently they convert sunlight into food.

A small aquatic plant, duckweed, could revolutionize the food of tomorrow

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.

Study shows transgenic expression of rubisco factors increases photosynthesis and chilling tolerance in maize

Maize is one of the world's most widely grown crops and is essential to global food security. But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the enzyme responsible for carbon assimilation during photosynthesis.
