Resumo(s)
"Global food security is under threat due to global warming and population
growth. This alarming scenario could however be mitigated by increasing crop
yield potential through photosynthesis improvement. Although plants performing
the C3-type of photosynthesis (e.g. rice and wheat) are the most abundant
and well-characterised in terms of their biology, biochemistry, and physiology,
C4 plants (e.g. maize and sugarcane) are generally more efficient than C3 in
capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and producing biomass in high-temperature
and drought conditions.(...)"
