Researchers have figured out how hornworts, a relative of mosses, condense RuBisCO into specialized compartments ...

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 ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation), ...

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 ...

Maize is one of the world's most widely grown crops and is essential to global food security. But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the ...

Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...

Proof of Concept is a video series profiling the science and scientists behind some of the environment’s most unexpected research. Pretty much all life on Earth – plants, animals, humans – in large ...

This substitution, combined with the development of a new metabolic cycle, the MOG cycle, could potentially revolutionize carbon fixation processes, greatly enhancing plant productivity. The shift ...
