- Photosynthesis is an essential biochemical process of plant growth and development, through which they use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide (CO2) to form organic compounds. This process provides energy to plants, leading to their tissue formation, cell division, and the production of elements helpful in growth. Additionally, photosynthesis plays an important role in maintaining the amount of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, giving other organisms the resources they need for life as well. The effectiveness of photosynthesis depends on many factors, such as light intensity, CO2 availability, water content, and temperature. Chlorophyll and photoreceptor pigments play an important role in this process, which help in converting light energy into chemical energy. In this paper, the process of photosynthesis, its factors, and its importance in plant growth and agricultural production have been discussed extensively. In addition, scientific measures to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and its contribution to the Green Revolution have also been mentioned. The research also looks at future innovations in biotechnology and agronomy that can help sustain food production and environmental balance.
