Crop (source code)
= Crop
A <crop> is a <plant> cultivated for a useful product, such as grain, <fruit>, fibre or oil. The term can denote the cultivated <species>, a particular planting or its harvested yield. A <crop>'s useful performance depends on both inherited traits and the environment in which it is grown.
Improved <photosynthesis> need not produce the same yield benefit in every field: the limiting factor may instead be <water>, <nutrients> or reproductive development. Experiments that accelerated recovery from <photoprotection> in tobacco measured productivity under fluctuating <light>, connecting a <leaf> mechanism to a whole-<plant> outcome.<Improving photosynthesis and crop productivity by accelerating recovery from photoprotection by Johannes Kromdijk and others>[2016, pp. 857–861]{ref}
