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 ...

If you want to gorge yourself on protein, as many people do these days, you have options like beef and chicken, soy and legumes, protein powders, and, of course, leaves. The last one may not be ...

Discover the latest articles and news in related subjects. We included RbcX in one of our chloroplast transformation vectors because it has been shown to enhance the assembly of the LSU core complex ...

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 ...

Proof of Concept is a video series profiling the science and scientists behind some of the environment’s most unexpected research. Pretty much all life on Earth – plants, animals, humans – in large ...

When it comes to food, humanity’s looking down the barrel of a gun. The world’s population will balloon to almost 9.8 billion by 2050, leading to an expected 60-percent increase in demand for food.

A team led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, has discovered a missing link in the evolution of photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Dating back more than 2.4 billion years, a newly ...

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 -- ...
