| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the natural environment, the light environment that plants receive is constantly changing throughout the day due to the weather and mutual shade between plants. For many years, there are many unclear points about the mechanism of photosynthetic response to fluctuating light. In this application, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of various reactions that contribute to the improvement of photosynthesis in the field environment where light fluctuates drastically. We have succeeded to improve photosynthetic ability under fluctuating light conditions, according to the research results of the applicants, 1) modification of the electron transport chain by introduction of the Flavodiiron protein (Flv) gene derived from Physcomitrella patens, 2) modification of Rubisco activase, which is an activator for Rubisco, and 3) rapid response of stomatal opening and closing.
