Charting new pathways to C4rice /

Feeding Asia in the 21st century will require a second Green Revolution. However, unlike in the first generation, future yield increases will have to be grown using less water and nitrogen in a world of unfavorable climate change & this can only be done by increasing the efficiency of the photos...
