Funded Activity Summary

Adapting cyanobacterial bicarbonate transporters for application in crop improvement. Marine blue-green algae contribute to global primary productivity but their carbon dioxide (CO2) acquisition processes are poorly understood. The project will determine protein structure and regulatory controls present in two classes of bicarbonate transporters required for efficient photosynthesis, and use this data towards the engineering crop plants that use less water.
