Global food security depends on three main cereal crops (wheat, rice and maize) achieving
and maintaining high yields, as well as increasing their future yields. Fundamental to the …

Photosynthetic carbon converted to sucrose is vital for plant growth. Sucrose acts as a
signaling molecule and a primary energy source that coordinates the source and sink …

Hornworts comprise a bryophyte lineage that diverged from other extant land plants> 400
million years ago and bears unique biological features, including a distinct sporophyte …

The growth in world population, climate change, and resource scarcity necessitate a
sustainable increase in crop productivity. Photosynthesis in major crops is limited by the …

A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the
introduction of cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant …

Photosynthetic manipulation provides new opportunities for enhancing crop yield. However,
understanding and quantifying the importance of individual and multiple manipulations on …

Many photosynthetic species have evolved CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
improve the efficiency of CO2 assimilation by Rubisco and reduce the negative impacts of …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) performs most of the
carbon fixation on Earth. However, plant Rubisco is an intrinsically inefficient enzyme given …
