Unlocking crop efficiency: A practical guide for Rubisco Assays Rubisco plays a vital role in photosynthesis but has several inefficiencies, which limit the rate of photosynthesis and present a barrier to crop productivity In the recently published book chapter, the researchers from Lancaster University looked at how these obstacles can be overcome
Rubisco activity and regulation as targets for crop improvement Other bioengineering approaches for improving Rubisco performance include improving the activity of its ancillary protein, Rubisco activase, in addition to modulating the synthesis and degradation of Rubisco’s inhibitory sugar phosphate ligands
Enhancing crop yield by using Rubisco activase to improve . . . One of the key elements hindering photosynthesis and plant productivity under heat stress is the thermo-sensitivity of the Rubisco activase (RCA), a molecular chaperone that converts Rubisco back to active form after it becomes inactive
Unlocking crop efficiency: A practical guide for Rubisco Assays Rubisco is the protein in plant chloroplasts that initiates the fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide into sugars (plant food) While it is essential to plant growth, it has several inefficiencies that limit the rate of photosynthesis and present a barrier to crop productivity
Increasing Rubisco as a simple means to enhance photosynthesis and . . . Developing more efficient forms of Rubisco, or engineering CO 2 concentrating mechanisms into C 3 crops to competitively repress oxygenation, are major endeavors, which could hugely increase photosynthetic productivity (≥ 60%)
Rubisco activity and regulation as targets for crop improvement The catalytic properties of Rubiscos from diverse sources vary considerably, suggesting that changes in turnover rate, affinity, or specificity for CO2 can be introduced to improve Rubisco performance in specific crops and environments
