This proposal aims at sustainable improvements in plant productivity and photosynthetic adaptation in drastic Australian climates. In photosynthesis, membranes with the four multiprotein complexes use sunlight to make compounds that drive carbon assimilation. Instead of the usual dissection of photosynthetic membranes, this project will develop and refine the applicant's rapid, reliable, non-intrusive techniques to probe the four membrane complexes at work in their native state in leaves. Two portable commercial instruments will potentially emerge from the techniques. This novel non-reductionist approach will identify key limitations to photosynthetic performance under stress, and insights into improvements for primary plant productivity.

该提案旨在可持续地提高植物的生产力和光合作用在澳大利亚极端气候下的适应能力。在光合作用中，具有四种多蛋白复合物的膜利用阳光制造驱动碳同化的化合物。该项目将开发和完善申请人的快速，可靠，非侵入性技术，以探测叶片中自然状态下工作的四种膜复合物，而不是通常的光合膜解剖。两个便携式商业仪器将有可能从技术中产生。这种新颖的非还原方法将确定压力下光合性能的关键限制，并深入了解初级植物生产力的改善。
