Photosynthesis is fundamental to biomass production, but is a dynamic process sensitive to environmental constraints. In recent years, approaches to increase biomass and grain yield by altering photosynthetically related processes in the plant have received considerable attention. However, improving biomass yield requires a predictive understanding of the molecular mechanisms that allow photosynthesis to be adjusted. The important roles of metabolic reactions external to those directly involved in photosynthesis are highlighted in this review; however, our major focus is on the routes taken to improve photosynthetic carbon assimilation and to increase photosynthetic efficiency and consequently biomass yield.
光合作用是生物量生产的基础，但它是一个对环境限制敏感的动态过程。近年来，通过改变植物中与光合作用相关的过程来增加生物量和籽粒产量的方法受到了广泛关注。然而，提高生物量产量需要对允许光合作用进行调整的分子机制有预测性的理解。本文综述了光合作用以外的代谢反应的重要作用；然而，我们的主要重点是改进光合作用碳同化的途径，以及提高光合作用效率，从而提高生物量产量。
