Synthetic, Photosynthetic, and Chemical Strategies to Enhance Carbon Dioxide Fixation
The present human population is more than three times what it was in 1950. With that, there is an increasing demand for the consumption of fossil fuels for various anthropogenic activities.

Rubisco evolution in C4 eudicots: an analysis of Amaranthaceae sensu lato [PDF]
BACKGROUND Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) catalyses the key reaction in the photosynthetic assimilation of CO₂. In C₄ plants CO₂ is supplied to Rubisco by an auxiliary CO₂-concentrating pathway that helps to maximize the ...

Immunogold localization of Rubisco and Rubisco activase in leaves of rice
The enzymes of Rubisco and Rubisco activase were localized using immunogold-labeled method and electron microscope techniques. The results showed that Rubisco was mainly located in choloroplast, Rubisco activase, however, specially labeled both in ...

Does Long-Term Elevation of CO2 Concentration Increase Photosynthesis in Forest Floor Vegetation? (Indiana Strawberry in a Maryland Forest). [PDF]
As the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the atmosphere rises, photorespiratory loss of carbon in C3 photosynthesis will diminish and the net efficiency of light-limited photosynthetic carbon uptake should rise.

Effects of OsRCA Overexpression on Rubisco Activation State and Photosynthesis in Maize
Ribulose–1,5–bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the rate–limiting enzyme for photosynthesis. Rubisco activase (RCA) can regulate the Rubisco activation state, influencing Rubisco activity and photosynthetic rate. We obtained transgenic maize

Functional hybrid rubisco enzymes with plant small subunits and algal large subunits: engineered rbcS cDNA for expression in chlamydomonas. [PDF]
There has been much interest in the chloroplast-encoded large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) as a target for engineering an increase in net CO(2) fixation in photosynthesis.

Binding Options for the Small Subunit-Like Domain of Cyanobacteria to Rubisco
Two proteins found in cyanobacteria contain a C-terminal domain with homology to the small subunit of rubisco (RbcS). These small subunit-like domains (SSLDs) are important features of CcmM, a protein involved in the biogenesis of carboxysomes found in ...

Multiscale metabolic modeling of C4 plants: connecting nonlinear genome-scale models to leaf-scale metabolism in developing maize leaves [PDF]
C4 plants, such as maize, concentrate carbon dioxide in a specialized compartment surrounding the veins of their leaves to improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide assimilation.
