第一卷·第三期·1000113《植物生物化学-生理学》ISSN：2329-9029JPBP，一份开放获取的期刊《全球粮食生产》将需要在2050年之前增加50%以上，以满足不断增长的人口对食物和燃料的需求。尽管90%以上的作物生物量来自光合作用产物，但提高光合作用能力和/或效率还没有通过育种来解决。因此，光合作用的改善被认为是提高作物产量的一种方式。我们现在需要确定直接提高叶片光合作用的具体目标，以实现新的“绿色革命”。在这篇小型综述文章中，总结了当前改善光合作用的建议(表1)。
Volume 1 • Issue 3 • 1000113 J Plant Biochem Physiol ISSN: 2329-9029 JPBP, an open access journal Global food production will need to increase more than 50% before 2050 to satisfy the food and fuel demands of an increasing population. Despite the fact that more than 90% of crop biomass is derived from photosynthetic products, increasing photosynthetic capacity and/or efficiency has not yet been addressed by breeding. Thus, photosynthetic improvements are being considered as a way to increase crop yields. We now need to identify the specific targets that will directly improve leaf photosynthesis to realize a new “green revolution”. In this mini-review article, current proposals to improve photosynthesis are summarized (Table 1).
