whether a new mathematical model of evolution could be used to unpick the evolutionary pathways that led to the advanced photosynthesis. My main interest is in using tools from maths to make some concrete progress in a problem of real biological and social value
Encouragingly for the efforts to design super-efficient crops we found that several different pathways lead to the more efficient photosynthesis--so there are plenty of different recipes biologists could follow to develop to achieve this.
This is not only an interesting mathematical result it should help biological scientists to develop crops with significantly improved yields to feed the world.
The next step for the biologists is to recreate the natural evolution of the more advanced photosynthesis by mirroring the genetic and physiological changes in simple laboratory plants and eventually in rice.
