During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be the most ...

This substitution, combined with the development of a new metabolic cycle, the MOG cycle, could potentially revolutionize carbon fixation processes, greatly enhancing plant productivity. The shift ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction — the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is ...

As global food and energy demand continues to grow, researchers are exploring multiple strategies to boost crop productivity. While engineering plant enzymes and biochemical pathways that are more ...

Photosynthetic efficiency in crop plants is governed by the capacity to convert light energy into chemical energy and to fix atmospheric CO₂ into biomass. Central to this process is Rubisco, the ...

Maize is one of the world's most widely grown crops and is essential to global food security. But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the ...

Researchers at Cornell University say they have made a significant advance in improving photosynthesis in certain crops, a step toward adapting plants to rapid climate changes and increasing yields to ...

In the recent study, “Improving the Efficiency of Rubisco by Resurrecting Its Ancestors in the Family Solanaceae,” Cornell researchers, Myat Lin, lead author and researcher in the Hanson Lab, and ...

You are here because of a single, all-important enzyme. But don’t look inward to find ribulose-­1,5-­bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, known more mercifully ...

Humans adjust to changes in temperature by putting on a sweater or taking off layers. Plants adjust to temperature changes, in part, by switching the way they express the protein that performs the ...
