Our mission is to end hunger worldwide by improving the complex process of
photosynthesis to increase crop production.
By equipping farmers with higher-yielding crops, we can ensure that everyone has
enough food to lead a healthy, productive life.

 


RESEARCHERS IMPROVE SEED NITROGEN CONTENT BY REDUCING PLANT CHLOROPHYLL LEVELS

Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis, but it uses a lot of a
plant's resources. RIPE researchers wondered if they reduced a plant's
chlorophyll levels,…


RIPE RESEARCHERS DETERMINE CHLOROPLAST SIZE UNLIKELY OPTION FOR IMPROVING
PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY

Chloroplast size affects photosynthetic efficiency in many ways, but is the
current size optimal? A group of RIPE researchers have found, for the first
time, that…


UNVEILING THE SECRETS OF GREEN PODS: THE ROLE OF SOYBEAN PODS AND SEEDS IN
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

A team from the university of Illinois has discovered why soybean pods are
green. They play…
