One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...
Researchers have figured out how hornworts, a relative of mosses, condense RuBisCO into specialized compartments ...
"Our job is to understand those solutions well enough to apply them where they're needed most." Researchers uncover strange plants that could change how we produce food: 'Nature has already tested ...
An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to ...
Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...
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 ...
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 ...
T. John Andrews, Graham S. Hudson, Colleen J. Mate, Susanne von Caemmerer, John R. Evans and Yvonne B.C. Arvidsson Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum W38) hemizygous for a single antisense gene ...
"Rubisco plays a central role in photosynthesis and frequently limits carbon assimilation in crop plants," said Elizabete Carmo-Silva, Professor of Crop Physiology at Lancaster University. "Leaves ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Despite the high productivity and ecological importance of seaweeds in polar coastal regions, little is known about their carbon utilization ...
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 -- ...
