Our mission is to advance the science and engineering of photosynthesis, pursuing fundamental discoveries that reveal new pathways to greater crop yield and stress tolerance.

The image shows a plant phylogenetic tree covering many types of flowering plants. Colored lines indicate how strongly different plants build up rubisco inhibitors in the dark. Yellow indicates low build up, light green moderate, dark green high, and blue very high.
