Canopy architecture has been a major target in crop breeding for improved yields. Whether architectures current elite cultivars can be modified increased canopy CO2 uptake rate (Ac) under elevated atmospheric concentrations (Ca) is currently unknown. To study this question, we developed new model of photosynthesis, which includes three components: (i) architectural model; (ii) forward ray tracing algorithm; and (iii) steady-state biochemical C3 photosynthesis. With model, demonstrated that...
Mining natural variations is a major approach to identify new options improve crop light use efficiency. So far, successes in identifying photosynthetic parameters positively related biomass accumulation through this are scarce, possibly due the earlier emphasis on properties leaf instead of canopy This study aims uncover rice (

Summary Leaf angle and leaf area index together influence canopy light interception photosynthesis. However, so far, there is no effective method to identify the optimal combination of these two parameters for In this study, first a robust high‐throughput accurate segmentation maize organs based on 3D point clouds data was developed, then segmented plant were used generate new altered architectures. With this, we simulated synergistic effect The results show that, compared traditional...
Light inside a canopy constantly fluctuates. Under fluctuating light (FL) conditions, stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate change. In this study, we explored whether dynamics of stomata movements upon FL influenced the water use efficiency rice in field. We used USDA-curated mini-core diversity panel consisting 204 worldwide distributed accessions. A priori model on dynamic response to was utilised identify kinetic parameters describing delays during closing (τcl) opening (τop)...

Abstract Floral organ shape and size in cereal crops can affect grain yield, so genes that regulate their development are promising breeding targets. The lemma, which protects inner floral organs, physically constrain growth; while the awn, a needle-like extension of creates photosynthate to developing grain. Although several modules controlling awn/lemma growth rice have been characterized, these processes, relationships between them, not well understood for barley wheat. Here, we...
In current rice breeding programs, morphological parameters such as plant height, leaf length and width, angle, panicle architecture, tiller number during the grain filling stage are used major selection targets. However, so far, there is no robust approach to quantitatively define optimal combinations of that can lead increased canopy radiation use efficiency (RUE). Here we report development a three-dimensional photosynthesis model (3dCAP), which effectively combines vertical nitrogen...
China's Natural Forest Conservation Program (NFCP) is aimed at improving the fragile and unstable ecological environment has become one of largest restoration programs in world because its enormous investment effects. It important to work out strengthen new measures overcome difficulties promote more ecosystem services human well-being NFCP. This study focused on how evaluate change brought about by implementing Taking key state-owned forest areas Northeast Inner Mongolia as area, we provide...
Crop yield potential is intrinsically related to canopy photosynthesis; therefore, improving photosynthetic efficiency a major focus of current efforts enhance crop yield. Canopy photosynthesis rate (Ac) influenced by several factors, including plant architecture, leaf chlorophyll content, and properties, which interact with each other. Identifying factors that restrict target adjustments improve in specific cultivar pose an important challenge for the breeding community. To address this...
Improving photosynthetic efficiency has long been considered as an important strategy to increase crop yield. Optimization of antenna size systems is one plant efficiency. However, applying this improve photosynthesis received conflicting results, and the reasons behind these conflicts are unclear. In study, we constructed transgenic rice with amiRNA targeting YGL1, which encodes a key enzyme chlorophyll a/b synthesis in biosynthesis pathway, generate different lines leaf contents sizes test...
Abstract Identifying new options to improve photosynthetic capacity is a major approach crop yield potential. Here we report that overexpression of the gene encoding transcription factor mEmBP-1 led simultaneously increased expression many genes in photosynthesis, including Chl a,b-binding proteins (Lhca and Lhcb), PSII (PsbR3 PsbW) PSI reaction center subunits (PsaK PsaN), chloroplast ATP synthase subunit, electron transport components (Fd1 PC), also Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle, those...
Photosynthesis represents the most important biological process on earth and generates food energy for living organisms. Increasing photosynthetic efficiency in crops is a feasible strategy to enhance grain yield. Canopy photosynthesis, integral of photosynthesis all tissues an entire plant canopy, intrinsically linked biomass production crop yield influenced by both at tissue level canopy architecture, which determines light environment that tissue. This review summarizes current...
Sugarcane has emerged as the second largest source of biofuel, primarily ethanol produced in Brazil. Dual row planting using asymmetric spacing rows can decrease damage to plants and soil structure from harvest equipment though potentially cause some loss productivity due increased shading. Can we assess this loss, without experimental testing thousands potential permutations design cultivar canopy form? Here develop a computational framework which couples 3D architectural information,...
Canopy photosynthesis is the sum of all above-ground photosynthetic tissues. Quantitative roles nonfoliar tissues in canopy remain elusive due to methodology limitations. Here, we develop first complete model incorporating and validate this on wheat with state-of-the-art gas exchange measurement facilities. The new precisely predicts rates at different growth stages, weather conditions, architectural perturbations. Using model, systematically study (1) contribution both foliar (2) responses...
To identify novel susceptibility genes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we performed a rare-variant association study in Chinese populations consisting of 2,750 cases and 4,153 controls. We identified four HCC-associated genes, including NRDE2, RANBP17, RTEL1, STEAP3. Using NRDE2 (index rs199890497 [p.N377I], p = 1.19 × 10−9) as an exemplary candidate, demonstrated that it promotes homologous recombination (HR) repair suppresses HCC. Mechanistically, binds to the subunits casein kinase 2...
