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 …

Background With limited agricultural land and increasing human population, it is essential to
enhance overall photosynthesis and thus productivity. Oxygenic photosynthesis begins with …

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 acclimation of plants to light has been studied extensively, yet little is known about the
effect of dynamic fluctuations in light on plant phenotype and acclimatory responses. We …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the independent stimulation of either electron
transport or RuBP regeneration can increase the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation …

Humans negatively influence Earth ecosystems and biodiversity causing global warming,
climate change as well as man-made pollution. Recently, the number of different stress …

To meet the growing demand for food, substantial improvements in yields are needed. This
is particularly the case for wheat, where global yield has stagnated in recent years …

Abstract Rubisco (ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase) enables net
carbon fixation through the carboxylation of RuBP. However, some characteristics of …
