| Method |
"The aim of this study was to demonstrate the application of dynamic photosynthesis models in engineering higher light-saturated photosynthetic rates. Another aim was to determine whether total protein, expressed as protein-nitrogen, is partitioned optimally with respect to maximizing light-saturated photosynthetic rate for a typical C3 leaf and, if not, what reallocation would maximize light-saturated photosynthesis." |
| Comments |
"Under current atmospheric [CO2] and [O2], photorespiration can decrease photosynthesis by up to 30% (primary sources)." |
