KTH researchers move a step closer to fixing a flaw in photosynthesis
Researchers at KTH, Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology, say they have moved closer to more efficient photosynthesis, work the university links to adapting crops to a changing climate.
Why it matters: KTH says its researchers' progress on photosynthesis could, in the long term, help adapt crops to a changing climate.
KTH said its researchers have come a step closer to developing more efficient photosynthesis by working to fix a flaw in the process.
According to KTH, the work could in the long term help adapt crops to a changing climate.
The university noted that rising temperatures and more severe drought are shortening growing seasons in many parts of the world.
