Boost soybean yields by adapting photosynthesis to fleeting shadows, according to model

Crops harness light energy to fix carbon dioxide into food via photosynthesis. A team of sciencetists reports a new mathematical computer model that is used to understand how much yield is lost as soybean crops grapple with minute-by-minute light fluctuations…
