Increased soybean yields finally achieved
Bioengineering boosts photosynthesis and increases yields in food crops for the first time ever.
Photosynthesis on the far side of the rainbow
Light you cannot see, in the infrared part of the spectrum, is surprisingly important for plant photosynthesis.

1D light models as accurate are as 3D at estimating dry matter
Researchers compare trade-offs between simplicity and accuracy when modelling greenhouse cucumber canopies.
Principles of resilient coding for plant ecophysiologists
Tired: Remembering if ‘ACi_sol_C_1.xlsx’ or ‘ACi_sol_D_v3.xlsx’ has correct parameter estimates. Wired: Using reproducible, scalable code to analyse data.
Should you plant your tomato rows oriented north to south or east to west?
A new study challenges the conventional wisdom of row orientation.
Resolving interactions between plant structure and function
A new study reveals the impact of spatial resolution on accurately representing the interactions between plant canopy structure and function.
Extra blue-light receptors helped ferns thrive in early angiosperm forests
Leptosporangiate ferns have three times more cryptochrome receptors than their nearest relatives.

A new system for simultaneous measurement of photosynthesis and solar-induced fluorescence
Can solar-induced fluorescence be used to accurately estimate photosynthetic traits at different scales?
Coffee and the Leaf Economics Spectrum: size matters
Martin and Issac quantified size-dependent variation in eight leaf traits in a single coffee genotype (Coffea arabica var. Caturra) in managed agroecosystems.

Seasonal coordination of leaf hydraulics and gas exchange in a wintergreen fern
What are the anatomical and physiological strategies Polystichum acrostichoides uses to maintain photosynthesis and avoid hydraulic failure across the year?
SoyFACE for 3D soybean canopy modelling under elevated carbon dioxide
New mathematical model dissects how soybean plants might grow larger in the future.
