There is increasing evidence to suggest that we may be reaching a yield plateau with many agricultural plants and that future avenues for yield increases may depend on increases in photosynthetic capacity per unit leaf area. Molecular genetic technology offers the promise of the direct manipulation of photosynthetic gene expression to increase photosynthetic capacity. This project aims to understand one important part of genetic regulation, the transcription factors, that may determine aspects of photosynthetic capacity. Altered expression of these transcription factors in transgenic plants will be used to test the their ability to control photosynthesis and generate agricultural intellectual property.

越来越多的证据表明，我们可能正在达到许多农业植物的产量平台，未来产量增加的途径可能取决于单位叶面积光合能力的增加。分子遗传技术为直接操纵光合作用基因表达以增加光合作用能力提供了希望。该项目旨在了解遗传调控的一个重要部分，转录因子，它可能决定光合能力的各个方面。这些转录因子在转基因植物中的表达变化将用于测试它们控制光合作用和产生农业知识产权的能力。
