Abstract

See full text

Methods for improving the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants exposed to suboptimal light conditions. Photosynthesis enhancement is achieved by transformation and expression of one or more exogenous chromophores in the chloroplast of plants or in the cytoplasm under the control of a transit peptide which directs it to the chloroplast or a compartment within the chloroplast. Preferred chromophores have excitation max in the green-yellow light spectrum. Chains of chromophores can be used to capture and emit light from one to the other until the emitted wave length is in the range that can be efficiently utilize by the native light harvest complex.
