One of the main challenges facing the world is how to provide sustainable energy to meet social needs as the global population continues to grow
Remember what photosynthesis C3 and C4 are?
It is known that photosynthetic efficiency will be reduced under fluctuating light, but it is not clear whether C4 plants face a greater reduction in efficiency than C3 plants
The researchers of this project aim to evaluate the photosynthetic performance of C3 and C4 bioenergy grass under stable and fluctuating light conditions by detecting the gas exchange of the leaves of C3 and C4 bioenergy grass
"In general, under fluctuating light, C4 species can absorb more carbon than C3 species, and the two types absorb about 16% less carbon than expected based on steady state measurements," Illinois achieved improved photosynthetic efficiency ( Ryan Boyd, a postdoctoral researcher in the RIPE project, said that he was also involved in the ROGUE research
Although there is not much research on C3 and C4 species under changing light conditions, the changes found in the results of this study can be used in future plant breeding programs
