Combining approaches for photosynthetic improvement to allow increased sustainability and productivity in European agriculture (CAPITALISE)
Project
Project code: JKI-SB-08-2232
Contract period: 01.04.2020
- 30.11.2024
Purpose of research: Experimental development
CAPITALISE has identified key physiological responses or properties that are promising candidate strategies to improve photosynthesis to meet EU crop breeding needs for increased yields. These lead photosynthesis strategies are the ‘MoVaPs’, our Most Valuable Players: 1. Tuning of the Calvin cycle; 2. The kinetics of photosynthetic responses to changes in irradiance; 3. Tuning leaf chlorophyll content. The JKI departments SB and SF develop and analyse scenarios for environmental and socio-economic impacts.
