Photorespiratory metabolism is essential for plants to maintain functional photosynthesis in
an oxygen‐containing environment. Because the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco is …

Plant cells contain three organelles that harbor DNA: the nucleus, plastids, and
mitochondria. Plastid transformation has emerged as an attractive platform for the …

Engineering improved Rubisco for the enhancement of photosynthesis is challenged by the
alternate locations of the chloroplast rbcL gene and nuclear RbcS genes. Here we develop …

Approximately 40% of a plant's dry mass consists of carbon, fixed in photosynthesis. This
process is vital for growth and survival of virtually all plants during the major part of their …

The Triticum aestivum (wheat) genome encodes three isoforms of Rubisco activase (Rca)
differing in thermostability, which could be exploited to improve the resilience of this crop to …

Much attention has been given to the enhancement of photosynthesis as a strategy for the
optimization of crop productivity. As traditional plant breeding is most likely reaching a …

Crop photosynthesis (A) and productivity are often limited by a combination of nutrient
stresses, such that changes in the availability of one nutrient may affect the availability of …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase–oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyses the first
step in carbon fixation and is a strategic target for improving photosynthetic efficiency. In …

The interaction and coevolution between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes are one of the
fundamental hallmarks of eukaryotic genome evolution and, 2 billion yr later, are still major …

Global climate change is a challenge for efforts to ensure food security for future
generations. It will affect crop yields through changes in temperature and precipitation, as …
