Much attention has been given to the enhancement of photosynthesis as a strategy for the optimization of crop productivity. As traditional plant breeding is most likely reaching a plateau, there is a timely need to accelerate improvements in photosynthetic efficiency by means of novel tools and biotechnological solutions. The emerging field of synthetic biology offers the potential for building completely novel pathways in predictable directions and, thus, addresses the global requirements for higher yields expected to occur in the 21st century. Here, we discuss recent advances and current challenges of engineering improved photosynthesis in the era of synthetic biology toward optimized utilization of solar energy and carbon sources to optimize the production of food, fiber, and fuel.
人们高度关注通过提高光合作用来优化作物生产力这一策略。由于传统的植物育种很可能已经达到了一个瓶颈期，因此我们需要及时利用新工具和生物技术解决方案来加速提高光合作用效率。新兴的合成生物学领域为在可预见的方向上构建全新的途径提供了可能，从而满足了 21 世纪全球对更高产量的预期要求。在这里，我们讨论了在合成生物学时代，工程改良光合作用以优化太阳能和碳源利用，从而优化粮食、纤维和燃料生产的最新进展和当前挑战。
