Scientists hack plant photosynthesis to boost crop yields by 40%

The genetically modified crops grow faster and taller than their conventional counterparts

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study suggests optimizing a plant's photosynthetic efficiency could significantly increase worldwide food productivity.
