  Breeding for rice varieties under aerobic conditions

  With limited freshwater resources worldwide, we need to start growing rice that can be productive with less irrigation and without paddy conditions....
• 

  Does nitrogen supply affect the light use efficiency of photosynthesis?

  Crops such as maize with so-called C4 photosynthesis are among the most productive and the benefits are such, that there are currently efforts to...
• 

  Evaluating light use efficiency of different C4 subtypes in C3 background

  The C3 crop rice, one of the major food crops, needs to increase its production by 50% by 2050. C4 crops yield more than C3 crops because of their...
