This study explored the regulatory mechanisms of rice photosynthesis genes and their potential for improving yield, and comprehensively analyzed the genetic and molecular regulation of photosynthesis, including processes such as light capture, carbon fixation, and energy conversion. The results showed that through transcriptomics, proteomics, and CRISPR gene editing, key regulatory genes and pathways that directly affect photosynthesis efficiency, such as Rubisco activating factors and chlorophyll biosynthesis genes, were identified. Environmental interactions and epigenetic factors also have important effects on these processes, providing possibilities for adaptive breeding strategies. The use of photosynthesis gene regulation offers great potential for sustainable rice cultivation. Future research should focus on multi-omics integration and environmental adaptability. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for the realization of a comprehensive yield improvement strategy.
