Study Discovers Recipe for a New Breed of Super-Crops
Oct 22
You may be thinking, “Yeah, that’s great, but how does this affect me?”
Well, imagine the benefits of applying these evolutionary advancements to our crops. A new breed of super-crops could be a big game changer. These crops would use less water resources, be available sooner to those in need, not to mention decreasing levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
"Encouragingly for the efforts to design super-efficient crops, we found that several different pathways lead to the more efficient photosynthesis -- so there are plenty of different recipes biologists could follow to develop to achieve this,” said Dr. Iain Johnston of Imperial College London, the study’s lead mathematician.
