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 ...

In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds to light. In a new meta-analysis study, a team from the Realizing Increased ...

Researchers from Cornell, Texas A&M, and Stockholm University have discovered that plants can swap small subunits of the Rubisco enzyme to adapt photosynthesis efficiency to changing temperatures.

New research has found that rubisco -- the enzyme that fuels all life on Earth -- is not stuck in an evolutionary rut after all. The largest analysis of rubisco ever has found that it is improving all ...

Plants can reshape a key protein to survive heat and cold, helping photosynthesis continue as temperatures swing.

Grist reports that researchers found hornwort can enhance the efficiency of rubisco, potentially increasing crop yields by up to 60%.

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 ...

Rubisco. Molecular model of the enzyme rubisco (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) complexed with ribulose-1,5-biphosphate. Rubisco is thought to be the most abundant and important protein ...

The green dots inside these plant cells are the chloroplasts which house the plant's solar energy capture and conversion capabilities Solar energy is a key component of humanity’s shift towards “green ...
