RESEARCH | PHOTOSYNTHESISBY MARY MACARTHURCAMROSE BUREAUResearchers at Cornell Universitybelieve they have found a gene thatwill increase crop yields by 50 percent.The “scarecrow” gene controls aleaf structure that will lead to moreefficient photosynthesis.Plants use two methods of photosynthesis:C3 in plants like barley andrice and C4 in plants like sugar caneand corn.With the discovery of the gene,researchers hope to be able to transferthe more efficient photosynthesistechnology from C4 crops to C3crops.The finding “provides a clue as tohow this whole anatomical key isregulated,” said Robert Turgeon, professorof plant biology at CornellUniversity in Ithaca, New York.Farmers could grow wheat and ricein hotter, drier environments withless fertilizer and possibly increaseyields if C4 photosynthesis is successfullytransferred to C3 plants, hesaid.However, Jim Helm, plant breederand head of research at Alberta Agriculture’sfield crops branch inLacombe, Alta., said just becauseNEWSGene discovery fails to wowCanadian plant breederCrop yields | Alberta Agriculture official skeptical that U.S. researcherscan improve efficiency of photosynthesis in C3 plants, including barleySteel TrussingHeavy-Duty DualScissor LiftUndercarriageAmerican researchers claim theyhave discovered a gene that couldmake it possible to grow cropssuch as barley more efficiently. |FILE PHOTOStabilizerBracket1-866-467-7207 www.wheatheart.comresearchers have discovered somethingdoesn’t mean it’s going to beadopted.“If you go back 50 years ago, theyfound the holy grail of having wheatfix its own nitrogen. Did they ever doit? Fifty years later and it’s never beendone,” he said.It’s the same with C3 and C4 crops,he added. The more efficient C4crops are warm season crops thatrequire more heat and water.“This is not something that hasbeen discussed just recently. Iremember taking a class on this 45years ago and whether or not wecould actually change C3 crops to C4crops. There is nothing new underthe sun,” said Helm.“Even if you could do this, where’sthe water? How are you going to growit on the prairies of Saskatchewanand Alberta without that extra waterand that extra heat.… This is anotherone of those things that gets peopleexcited and gets them money andpress and more money and hopefullyfive years down the road everyoneforgets they made a fool of themselves.”It’s the auger you asked for.
