Since 1893, when the word "photosynthesis" was first coined by Charles Reid Barnes and Conway MacMillan, our understanding of the elements and regulation of this complex process is far from being entirely understood. We aim to review the most relevant advances in photosynthesis research from the last few years and to provide a perspective on the forthcoming research in this field. Recent discoveries related to light sensing, harvesting, and dissipation; kinetics of CO fixation; components and regulators of CO diffusion through stomata and mesophyll; and genetic engineering for improving photosynthetic and production capacities of crops are addressed.
自1893年“光合作用”一词由查尔斯·里德·巴恩斯和康威·麦克米伦首次提出以来，我们对这一复杂过程的要素和调控的理解远未完全明晰。我们旨在回顾过去几年光合作用研究中最相关的进展，并对该领域即将开展的研究提供一个视角。文中探讨了与光感知、光捕获和光耗散；二氧化碳固定动力学；二氧化碳通过气孔和叶肉扩散的成分及调节因子；以及提高作物光合作用和生产能力的基因工程等方面的最新发现。
