The Calvin Benson Cycle01:46

The Calvin Benson Cycle

4.5K
Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is a critical enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide assimilation during photosynthesis. However, it is an inefficient enzyme, having an extremely slow catalytic rate. A typical enzyme can process about a thousand molecules per second; however, RuBisCo fixes only around three-carbon dioxides per second. Photosynthetic cells compensate for this slow rate by synthesizing very high amounts of RuBisCo, making it the most abundant single...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.2K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

35.1K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Reducing global ozone precursor emissions, including methane, can significantly decrease wheat production losses. Global efforts to cut non-methane and methane emissions can avoid millions of tonnes in wheat loss, benefiting agriculture worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Agricultural Science
  • Atmospheric Chemistry

Background:

  • Ozone pollution negatively impacts global crop yields, particularly wheat.
  • Methane and non-methane compounds are significant precursors to ground-level ozone formation.
  • Previous studies have highlighted ozone's detrimental effects on agricultural productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify potential wheat production losses avoided by reducing ozone precursor emissions.
  • To assess the impact of global versus regional emission reduction strategies.
  • To evaluate the specific contributions of non-methane and methane precursors to ozone-induced crop damage.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme Meteorological Synthesizing Centre - West (EMEP-MSC-West) model for ex-post analysis.
  • Simulated future emission scenarios, including a LOW future emission scenario for 2050.
  • Compared wheat production losses under reduced emission scenarios versus current legislation.

    • Main Results:

    • Reducing global non-methane ozone precursors could avoid 6.4 million tonnes of wheat loss in the UNECE region by 2050.
    • Further reductions including methane precursors could avoid a total of 9.0 million tonnes of wheat loss in the UNECE region.
    • Within the EU27, these reductions equate to approximately €675 million and €976 million respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Global cooperation to reduce ozone precursor emissions offers substantial benefits for wheat production.
    • Both regional and global efforts to reduce non-methane emissions are crucial.
    • Reducing methane emissions globally also plays a vital role in mitigating crop yield losses due to ozone formation.
