How do genetic differences shape the way plants capture light, process carbon, and survive drought? Watch the highlights from the JII Open Challenge photosynthesis hackathon in Ghana, March 2026: a unique, fast-paced hackathon bringing together data scientists, plant researchers, software engineers, and innovators to uncover the links between genotypic variation and photosynthetic performance.

In order to prevent damage by excess light, photosystem antennae can switch to an energy dissipative mode (termed non-photochemical quenching, NPQ). In higher plants, this switch is facilitated by the...
