Sentences with phrase «enhance photosynthesis»

But some studies indicate that increased atmospheric CO2 that leads to those higher temperatures could enhance photosynthesis and increase rice yields.

As in the empirically tried and tested proven use of such in greenhouses where they want to maximise visible light to enhance photosynthesis and don't want to cook the plants..

Scientists have for some time attempted to enhance photosynthesis through genetic manipulation, but it's only recently that we're beginning to see these efforts take form.

At the same time, altered water availability and enhanced photosynthesis can change the amount of leaf, root and below ground microbial biomass, resulting in changes to ecosystem functioning.

«How plants avoid sunburn: Findings could lead to crops with increased protection from bright light and enhanced photosynthesis.»

Synthetic biology may hold the key to increasing yields on currently farmed land — and hence helping address food security — by enhancing photosynthesis and reducing pre-harvest losses, as well as reducing post-harvest and post-consumer waste.

Since decreased plant and soil respiration could not explain the drop in carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere in 1992 and 1993, Gu and his colleagues deduced that enhanced photosynthesis by plants must be involved.

This occurs when additional nutrients promote atmospheric carbon sequestration via enhanced photosynthesis leading to accelerated rates of organic carbon sedimentation and burial.

No, the Social Benefits of Carbon» claiming the government is vastly underestimating the social benefits of coal as well as the benefits from the carbon dioxide pollution produced by burning that coal, including enhancing photosynthesis and agricultural productivity.

Not exact matches

When these nanocomposites were incorporated into leaf chloroplasts of living plants, the electron flow associated with photosynthesis was enhanced by 30 %.

Incorporation of CNTs enhanced electron flow associated with photosynthesis by 49 % in extracted chloroplasts and by 30 % in leaves of living plants, and incorporation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) into extracted chloroplasts significantly reduced concentrations of superoxide, a compound that is toxic to plants.

GLK overexpression enhanced fruit photosynthesis gene expression and chloroplast development, leading to elevated carbohydrates and carotenoids in ripe fruit.

This has been enhanced by the rise of CO2; currently, the biosphere takes up about 2 billion tonnes (petagrams, or Pg) of carbon equivalent as the difference between the action of two processes of much greater magnitude, photosynthesis and respiration, both on the order of 70 Pg annually.

And outside the energy sector: Biological CO2 capture via photosynthesis and storage in ecosystems (e.g. forests, grasslands, wetlands, oceans) and / or agricultural lands (e.g. soils, biomass); and chemical CO2 capture via enhanced weathering of rocks that natural react (albeit quite slowly) with CO2 in the air.

They are limited by the amount of energy absorbed and converted in photosynthesis, so without additional artificial sunlight, growth and productivity will not be enhanced with vertical arrangements.

It is obvious the enhanced endothermic photosynthesis and chemosynthesis would be causing global cooling.

The seeds would be designed to stimulate greater photosynthesis, improve root structures, and enhance other characteristics so the transgenic corn can yield more kernels with less water.

One proposed solution to the first question involves the outgassing of massive amounts of carbon dioxide by volcanoes, which could have warmed the planetary surface rapidly by enhancing the planet's so - called greenhouse effect, especially given that major carbon dioxide sinks (rock weathering and photosynthesis) would have been dampened by a frozen Earth.
