The modified maize also showed greater resilience to chilling stress, maintaining higher photosynthetic rates during cold exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach may benefit other crops with similar photosynthetic pathways, like sorghum and sugar cane, improving yield and efficiency. David Stern, lead author and BTI professor, emphasized the broader impact: &#8220;Exploring Rubisco assembly can enhance photosynthesis across various crops.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of escalating climate change and food security concerns, the need for more productive crops is critical.
