Researchers Prove Multigene Bioengineering of Photosynthesis Increases Soybean Yields |
|
|
|
For the first time, researchers from the research project Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) have proven in field trials that the multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of soybeans. After more than a decade, the collaborative team led by the University of Illinois and scientists at Lancaster University has transgenically altered soybean plants to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis, resulting in greater yields without loss of quality.

Researchers Discover Protein that Turns Plants into Dwarfs |
|
|
|
Researchers from Kiel University, led by Professor Frank Kempken, have characterized a novel component of plant PPR proteins previously thought to be primarily involved in RNA maturation in mitochondria. The researchers have identified a new protein that is part of the mitochondrial ribosomes and is involved in protein biosynthesis.
