How Plants Survive the Heat—On the Benefit of Engineered Photorespiration

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This commentary article highlights the recent findings by Meacham–Hensold and colleagues on the benefit of engineered photorespiration for plant acclimation toward future climate change scenarios. Their fieldwork shows that optimized photorespiration can help to deal with short‐term heatwaves better than the corresponding control plants.
