Scientists Successfully Simulate Photosynthesis And Design A Better Leaf

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071109123201.htm --- University of Illinois researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished the feat using a computer model that mimics the process of evolution. Theirs is the first model to simulate every step of the photosynthesis process.
