Phenotyping photosynthesis : yes we can

Abstract

For crop improvement, identifying natural genetic variants that impact photosynthesis and demonstrating their utility for breeding programmes has been a missing link (Theeuwen et al., 2022). Keller et al. (2024) show how higher throughput tools can break down these barriers, with the promise that photosynthetic phenotypes and their underpinning genetics can increasingly be made accessible for crop breeding programmes.
