Improving Photosynthesis to Increase Food and Fuel Production by Biotechnological Strategies in Crops

Global food production will need to increase more than 50% before 2050 to satisfy the food and fuel demands of an increasing population. Despite the fact that more than 90% of crop biomass is derived from photosynthetic products, increasing photosynthetic capacity and/or efficiency has not yet been addressed by breeding. Thus, photosynthetic improvements are being considered as a way to increase crop yields. We now need to identify the specific targets that will directly improve leaf photosynthesis to realize a new “green revolution”. In this mini-review article, current proposals to improve photosynthesis are summarized (Table 1).
