1 Phenotyping for Photosynthetic Traits Elizabete Carmo-Silva Michael E Salvucci Martin AJ Parry OPTICHINA 2nd Workshop, Barcelona, September 212

2 Why Photosynthesis? Photosynthetic assimilation of carbon is the primary determinant of crop biomass Increase Photosynthesis Increase Crop Yields Other interacting factors are important to fully exploit carbon gains (e.g., respiration, assimilate partitioning)
