Field Trial

Caption

Researchers from the University of Illinois have proven that increases in mesophyll conductance can be engineered and that it leads to increases in photosynthesis. These results were shown in a model crop (tobacco) field trial. The modification will be tested in the food crop soybean in the coming years.
