Scientists have puzzled over the existence of photorespiration, a seemingly wasteful process in plants that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Now UC Davis plant scientist Arnold Bloom has ...
In today's plants, photorespiration dissipates some of the energy produced by photosynthesis and releases CO2. It begins when the enzyme RuBisCO acts on oxygen instead of carbon dioxide and creates ...
A genetic hack to make photosynthesis more efficient could be a boon for agricultural production, at least for some plants. This feat of genetic engineering simplifies a complex, energy-expensive ...

Scientists engineer plants to double carbon uptake ability and produce more seeds and lipids
Typically, plants rely on the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to usable organic matter for growth. Although this cycle is the main pathway for carbon ...
