As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

Carbon fixation is the process by which CO2 is converted from a gas into biomass. The
Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle (CBB) is the dominant carbon-consuming pathway on …

The evolution of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenases (Rubiscos) that
discriminate strongly between their substrate carbon dioxide and the undesired side …

Photosynthetic manipulation provides new opportunities for enhancing crop yield. However,
understanding and quantifying the importance of individual and multiple manipulations on …

Plants and photosynthetic organisms have a remarkably inefficient enzyme named Rubisco
that fixes atmospheric CO2 into organic compounds. Understanding how Rubisco has …

Engineering the plastid genome based on homologous recombination is well developed in
a few model species. Homologous recombination is also the rule in mitochondria, but …

Rubisco is the primary entry point for carbon into the biosphere. However, rubisco is widely
regarded as inefficient leading many to question whether the enzyme can adapt to become …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) performs most of the
carbon fixation on Earth. However, plant Rubisco is an intrinsically inefficient enzyme given …

Seed yield, determined mainly by seed numbers and seed weight, is the primary target of
soybean breeding. Identifying the genes underlying yield‐related traits is of great …
