In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds ...

Humans adjust to changes in temperature by putting on a sweater or taking off layers. Plants adjust to temperature changes, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Grist reports that researchers found hornwort can enhance the efficiency of rubisco, potentially increasing crop yields by up ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 -- ...

A team of researchers discovered an imperfection in how Rubisco functions in cowpea and how they can improve it across crops to increase productivity. All of the carbon in our bodies, in food, and in ...
