Photosynthesis engineering is the deliberate modification of photosynthetic pathways in plants to improve the efficiency, flexibility, or output of light-driven carbon fixation. By reprogramming how plants capture sunlight and convert it into biomass, researchers can explore alternative carbon concentration mechanisms and metabolic routes that evolved naturally in diverse lineages. This field holds significant promise for enhancing crop productivity, stress resilience, and our fundamental understanding of how plants balance energy acquisition with growth.
