Review: Genetic engineering for carbon assimilation in plants
Rubisco (Ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the central enzyme for photosynthesis, This enzyme poorly discriminates between CO2 and O2, which limits its efficiency. To work around this and make carbon assimilation more efficient, scientists have been employing different engineering strategies, several of which are summarized in a new review by Qin et al. One strategy is to alter […]
