Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 110, No. 8 (February 19, 2013), pp. 3185-3190 (6 pages) Photorespiratory carbon flux reaches up to a third of ...
This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
A peripheral reticulum occurs in mesophyll chloroplasts of the pentose cycle plant Dactylis glomerata L. (orchardgrass). This structural feature was previously thought to occur primarily in the ...
A genetic hack to make photosynthesis more efficient could be a boon for agricultural production, at least for some plants. This feat of genetic engineering simplifies a complex, energy-expensive ...
Typically, plants rely on the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to usable organic matter for growth. Although this cycle is the main pathway for carbon ...
