To optimize production, scientists from the University of Essex have resolved two major photosynthetic bottlenecks to boost plant productivity by 27 percent in real-world field conditions, according to a new study published in Nature Plants. This is the third breakthrough for the research project Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE); however, this photosynthetic hack has also been shown to conserve water.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-08-breakthrough-photosynthetic-hacks-boost-yield.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Third breakthrough demonstrates photosynthetic hacks can boost yield, conserve water<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plants are factories that manufacture yield from light and carbon dioxide\u2014but parts of this complex process, called photosynthesis, are hindered by a lack of raw materials and machinery.
