LSU Department of Biological Sciences Assistant Professor Paul South’s research aims
to unlock the genetic mechanisms that can improve photosynthetic efficiency to increase
agricultural production and achieve greater food sustainability. So far, his research
has yielded 20-40% more biomass in his study plants. Dr. South shares how he and his
students are engineering crops for better future food security.
LSU Distinguished Research Masters Pius Nkashama Ngandu and Robert P. Lipton present
