A number of recent studies have provided strong support demonstrating that improving the
photosynthetic processes through genetic engineering can provide an avenue to improve …

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions has been a hot research topic in recent years.
The integration of microalgae cultivation using CO 2 from power plants and factories has …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …

INTRODUCTION Meeting food demands for the growing global human population requires
improving crop productivity, and large gains are possible through enhancing photosynthetic …

Increase in demand for our primary foodstuffs is outstripping increase in yields, an
expanding gap that indicates large potential food shortages by mid-century. This comes at a …

The ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long
been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop …

The capture of CO2 by carboxylases is key to sustainable biocatalysis and a carbon-neutral
bio-economy, yet currently limited to few naturally existing enzymes. Here, we developed …

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

The rate with which crop yields per hectare increase each year is plateauing at the same
time that human population growth and other factors increase food demand. Increasing yield …

Photorespiration is essential for C3 plants but operates at the massive expense of fixed
carbon dioxide and energy. Photorespiration is initiated when the initial enzyme of …
