people around the world.</span> <span data-start-time='9021' data-end-time='16104'>Supercharged plants are ones that grow faster than normal plant life.</span> <span data-start-time='16104' data-end-time='25896'>Scientists can speed up the growth by modifying, or changing, the structure of plants’ genes.</span> <span data-start-time='25896' data-end-time='32458'>The modifications make them react quickly to changes in light.</span> <span data-start-time='32458' data-end-time='45188'>This all has to do with photosynthesis, the process in which plants turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into food.</span> <span data-start-time='45188' data-end-time='51521'>Steve Long is a plant biologist with the University of Illinois.</span> <span data-start-time='51521' data-end-time='56396'>Arguably, photosynthesis is the most important process on our planet.</span> <span data-start-time='56396' data-end-time='60021'>It is the driving force behind all of life.</span> <span data-start-time='60021' data-end-time='63479'>Plants grow fastest in the sun.</span> <span data-start-time='63479' data-end-time='67979'>That is when they make the most food for themselves.</span> <span data-start-time='67979' data-end-time='76792'>But their rate of growth can slow when things like clouds or trees block sunlight.</span> <span data-start-time='76792' data-end-time='84500'>But when the sun returns, it can take many minutes for growth to speed up again.</span> <span data-start-time='84500' data-end-time='95438'>This can be a problem because it means some of our most important crop plants are not as productive as they could be.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button
