| description | Abstract In the era of climate change, optimizing both photosynthesis and radiation use efficiency (RUE) is essential to meet the growing global food demand and minimizing environmental impacts. Climate change poses significant challenges to photosynthesis and RUE through increased temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and elevated atmospheric CO2 levels. These changes can disrupt plant metabolic processes, reduce water availability, and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, thereby affecting crop productivity. However, there is a lack of comprehensive documentation on the understanding of relationship between photosynthesis and RUE in this era of climate change. Peer-reviewed electronic databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Science Direct were used for relevant articles in order to address this gap through desk research. Out of 252 initially identified articles, 127 were deemed pertinent, focusing primarily on the relationship and strategies to improve photosynthesis and RUE for better growth and development of agricultural crops. Taking into account research findings worldwide, we found that several strategies such as climate-resilient crop varieties, optimizing canopy architecture, employing precision agriculture techniques etc. can improve the ability of plants to harness solar radiation effectively. Integrating these insights with sustainable agricultural practices can promote resource-use efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance food security. This review article underscores the critical role of optimizing photosynthesis and RUE in developing sustainable agricultural systems that are resilient to climate change, ultimately contributing to global sustainability goals. |
