Photosynthesis and energy conservation are basic processes that power plant growth and world food supply. During this session, the operation of light capture, electron transport, and carbon fixation in plants will be discussed. Photosystem I and II, chloroplast biology, and photoprotection mechanisms to avoid damage under stress will be learned. The session emphasizes attempts at minimizing photorespiration losses and maximizing light energy conversion. Researchers will report studies on C3, C4, and CAM metabolism as evolutionary strategies for efficient photosynthesis. Participants will learn about genetic and biotechnological approaches to enhance photosynthetic performance in crops. Case studies will show how increasing photosynthetic efficiency leads to yield enhancement. The session also deals with issues of energy balance in varying light environments. Participants will be introduced to synthetic biology strategies to re-engineer photosynthetic pathways. This session combines plant physiology, molecular biology, and biotechnology to yield novel approaches for sustainable agriculture and international food security.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
