Scientists further cowpea research–boosting canopy CO2 assimilation, water-use efficiency – Science Daily
New research aimed to determine how much variation exists within diverse cowpea lines’ canopy photosynthesis. Results from this study suggest that by optimizing canopy structures, researchers could increase cowpea yields, and yields across other crops, to imp…
Crops grow dense canopies that consist of several layers of leaves — the upper layers with younger sun leaves and the lower layers with older shaded leaves that may have difficulty intercepting sunlight trickling down from the top layers.In a recent study published in Food and Energy Security, scientists from Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) aimed to understand how much variation exists within diverse cowpea lines in light absorption and carbon dioxide (CO2) assimilation thr…
