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 ...

Up to now, the evolutionary trajectory of the most prevalent CO2-fixing enzyme – Rubisco Form I, has been difficult to study. The Rubisco found in today’s plants and algae has 8 small subunits (SSU) ...

Scientists have engineered sugarcane and sorghum to take advantage of rising levels of carbon dioxide, allowing these crops to grow bigger. To achieve this, researchers focused on the enzyme Rubisco.

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 -- ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has discovered an ancient form of rubisco, the most abundant enzyme on Earth and critical to life as we know it. Found in previously unknown environmental microbes, the newly ...

• 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 ...
