Natural variation in photosynthesis and leaf development under high light in a Brassica panel
Brassicas are a group of species belonging to the Brassicaceae family. In this project, we will study B. rapa (cabbage), B. nigra (mustard), and... -
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... -
Investigate the plant architecture ideotype of hybrid potato for improved tuber production
Hybrid potato provides potentials for fast breeding and more sustainable tuber production. The novel hybrids can grow from various starting materials,... -
A joint lab for advanced plant and crop photosynthesis physiology
The photosynthesis lab is an initiative of the Centre for Crop Systems Analysis (CSA) and the Horticulture and Product Physiology group (HPP) to... -
Effects of elevated CO2 and nitrogen availability on growth, photosynthesis and resource allocation
In the near future, the concentration of CO2 is predicted to further increase and this will have implications for crop production. Elevated [CO2] has... -
Open-Abs: an open source method to quickly measure leaf absorbtance
Visible light is readily absorbed by leaves and used in photosynthesis. This light varies greatly in intensity over time and e.g. within a canopy. As... -
Assessment of genetic variation in photosynthetic temperature response in wheat
The response to temperature is a key trait for breeding more resilient crops for future climates, where temperatures are predicted to rise by 2-4... -
Does climate change affect photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation activity in soybean?
In the near future, the concentration of CO2 is predicted to further increase and this will have implications for crop production. Elevated [CO2] has... -
How dynamic is light inside canopies? Intercepting light in the real world
The conversion of light into biomass and harvestable product is one of the key processes that drive yield. Not only the amount of light intercepted by... -
Quantitative analysis of photosynthesis of a super-performer
During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy, which is then mainly used for the fixation of carbon dioxide. Insight into the...
