Researchers have found a way to engineer more efficient versions of the plant enzyme Rubisco by using a red-algae-like Rubisco from a bacterium.
A team of scientists has created a model that is providing a clearer insight into the way plants use carbon to grow, from an economical point of view.
Congratulations to Centre researcher Alex Wu, who has been honored by the ASPS in recognition to his work.
Centre researchers have turned back the clock a billion years to rectify the enzyme Rubisco’s limitations and ramp up photosynthesis.
Australian researchers are exploring an innovative molecular approach that, used in conjunction with improving weed management farming practices, could help towards controlling this formidable weed.
Scientists have shed new light on how the network of plant cell gatekeepers works, which they believe is key to develop food crops with bigger yields and greater ability to cope with extreme environments.
Australia is going to be one the most affected agricultural areas by climate extremes, so we are preparing a toolbox of plant innovations to ensure future global food security, as shown in a recently published JExBot Special Issue.
