For the first time, RIPE researchers have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field trials. After more than a decade of working toward ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2017 – The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) today announced a $15 million contribution – its biggest grant to date – to a five-year, $45-million research ...

Students will conduct hands-on laboratory research in the field of photosynthesis and plant molecular biology, working with genetically modified plants (Nicotiana tabacum, a well-established model ...

Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking nature has perfected the art of turning sunlight into sugar.

Scientists have transgenically altered soybean plants to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis, resulting in greater yields without loss of quality. For the first time, RIPE researchers have ...

For the first time, researchers for RIPE (Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency) have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field ...
