DILIPHO explores the biochemical mechanisms of C4 photosynthesis to enhance agricultural productivity. The project aims to develop a model for metabolite transport in leaves and experimentally test the hypothesis that low turgor affects the efficiency of the C4 process.
C4 plants are leading grain (maize, sorghum), sugar (sugarcane), and biofuel (miscanthus) producers.
Their higher productivity potential arises from the operation of a Carbon Concentrating Mechanism (CCM), which is an effective ‘turbocharger’ of the assimilatory machinery.
In recent years there has been a considerable drive towards engineering a CCM into C3 crops as a possible strategy to boost agricultural productivity.
This emerged as an alternative strategy to the traditional breeding, which…
