Title: Increasing Photosynthesis by Inhibiting Photorespiration with Glyoxylate

These observations show that photorespiration can be metabolically regulated and suggest that genetic or chemical alteration of pool sizes of certain metabolites can produce plants with increased photosynthesis.Read More
