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 ...

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 ...

A new study describes a breakthrough in the quest to improve photosynthesis in certain crops, a step toward adapting plants to rapid climate changes and increasing yields to feed a projected 9 billion ...

This substitution, combined with the development of a new metabolic cycle, the MOG cycle, could potentially revolutionize carbon fixation processes, greatly enhancing plant productivity. The shift ...

By resurrecting ancient Rubisco, early results show promise for developing faster, more efficient Rubisco enzymes to incorporate into crops and help them adapt to hot, dry future conditions, as human ...

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 ...

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 ...
