When crop leaves are in full sunlight, such as in the wide-open fields, their green chlorophyll molecules receive more light energy than they can use. If this energy isn&#8217;t dissipated from the molecules, they will react with oxygen to produce bleaching agents that can destroy the leaf, costing plants up to 10\u201330% of their ability to photosynthesize.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-08-faster-screening-photoprotection-crops.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Researchers report faster screening of photoprotection in crops<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plants spend all day creating food from sunlight using photosynthesis\u2014a 100+ step process that researchers have been working to improve its efficiency in crops to ultimately deliver more yield.
