"Improving photosynthesis has become a goal for plant physiologists, and a great deal of interest has been generated recently in achieving this goal through deliberate efforts in various sub-disciplines. Dr Robert Sharwood has drawn together experts in those and other promising areas. The resulting collection is a 'must-have' for those wishing to integrate current advances into agronomy and crop breeding, as well as for ambitious plant scientists with novel ideas that are yet to be tested."(Distinguished Professor Graham Farquhar, Australian National University, Australia and Winner of the 201...

"With the plateau in yield progress of our major food crops driving a search for new breeding approaches, photosynthesis has become a major target for improving yields. This book brings together knowledge from some of the world's leading researchers in photosynthetic improvement and provides a valuable resource for students, researchers and crop breeders."(Professor Bob Furbank, Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis and ARC Centre for Future Crops Development, Australia)
It is widely recognised that photosynthesis in many important crops is well below its theoretical potential. With crop yields and stability under threat from the impact of climate change, there is now an urgent need to synthesise existing research on best practices for improving C3 photosynthesis in crops to optimise sustainable crop production and yields.
Understanding and improving crop photosynthesis reviews the wealth of current research that addresses this challenge. The book explores our understanding of the general components of C3 photosynthesis, including its biochemistry, as well as the recent advances in techniques for improving photosynthesis, focussing primarily on light harvesting and optimising chloroplast function/light conversion.
Through providing its readers with a comprehensive exploration of crop photosynthesis, the book showcases how farmers can utilise their understanding of the science behind this key process to optimise their yields and achieve successful crop production.
Drawing in an international array of subject experts, Understanding and improving crop photosynthesis will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in crop and environmental science, botanists, as well as government and private sector agencies supporting sustainable crop production.
Dr Robert Sharwood is Senior Lecturer and Vice Chancellor's Fellow in the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment and the School of Science at Western Sydney University, Australia. He was formerly an ARC DECRA Fellow at the Australian National University. Dr Sharwood is internationally known for his research on understanding and improving photosynthetic biochemistry in plants to produce more resilient crops in the face of climate change.
