Figure 1: Replacement of the tobacco chloroplast rbcL with cyanobacterial genes. Figure 3: Phenotype of the wild-type and transplastomic tobacco lines. We included RbcX in one of our chloroplast ...

• Green algae expressing a carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) are usually associated with a Rubisco-containing micro-compartment, the pyrenoid. A link between the small subunit (SSU) of Rubisco and ...

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 ...

T. John Andrews, Graham S. Hudson, Colleen J. Mate, Susanne von Caemmerer, John R. Evans and Yvonne B.C. Arvidsson Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum W38) hemizygous for a single antisense gene ...

Present day life fully depends on photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae that capture and convert CO 2. At the heart of these processes lies an enzyme called Rubisco that captures more than ...

The enzyme rubisco is found in all plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. It plays a key role in fixing carbon from the air and has helped shape life on Earth. Now researchers at UC Davis, UC ...

Be honest – when you look at a rich green meadow, does a solar power plant come to mind? Of course not. However, plants do something very similar: they convert the energy from sunlight into usable ...

Researchers used a mathematical model to gain insight into possibly building Rubisco compartments in crop plants to assist in increasing yield productivity. Rubisco is arguably the most abundant -- ...

Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...

Israeli start-up Day 8 has emerged from stealth mode with plans to disrupt plant-based food and drink. Its secret weapon? A protein derived from leaves: Rubisco. Rubisco protein sounds almost too good ...

As part of the Tansley Review, the trio discuss their own research in increasing Rubisco in sorghum, as shown in these 2023 field trials. The authors believe improving rubisco could be part of ...
