Resumen

Las hojas de soja de bioingeniería se adaptan más rápido a la sombra, aumentando la eficiencia fotosintética y aumentando el rendimiento de las semillas hasta en un 33%. Esta estrategia mejora la productividad de los cultivos para la seguridad alimentaria mundial sin alterar el contenido nutricional de las semillas.

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.

The Calvin Benson Cycle

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...
