Funded Activity Summary

Exploring the catalytic role of the Rubisco small subunit: a new target for improving carbon dioxide-fixation in plants. This project uses new biotechnological tools to improve the performance of the photosynthetic protein Rubisco, the primary carbon dioxide-fixing enzyme in plants. By supercharging photosynthesis, this research will help to boost yield and reduce water and nitrogen use in crops.
