Journal ArticleDOI
Rubisco activity and regulation as targets for crop improvement
Martin A. J. Parry,P. John Andralojc,Joanna C. Scales,Michael E. Salvucci,A. Elizabete Carmo-Silva,Hernan Alonso,Spencer M. Whitney +6 more
TL;DR: As the rate-limiting step in carbon assimilation, even modest improvements in the overall performance of Rubisco pose a viable pathway for obtaining significant gains in plant yield, particularly under stressful environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards engineering carboxysomes into C3 plants
TL;DR: This work reviews current information about cyanob bacterial microcompartments and carbon-concentrating mechanisms, plant transformation strategies, replacement of Rubisco in a model C3 plant with cyanobacterial Rubisco and progress toward synthesizing a carboxysome in chloroplasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The activity of Rubisco’s molecular chaperone, Rubisco activase, in leaf extracts
TL;DR: An assay was devised for measuring activase activity in leaf extracts based on the ATP-dependent activation of inactive Rubisco, and results confirmed the exceptional thermal lability of activase at physiological ratios ofactivase to Rubisco.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rubisco activities, properties, and regulation in three different C4 grasses under drought
A. Elizabete Carmo-Silva,A. Elizabete Carmo-Silva,Alfred J. Keys,P. John Andralojc,Stephen J. Powers,M. Celeste Arrabaça,Martin A. J. Parry +6 more
TL;DR: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate in the leaves decreased with drought stress, to quantities approximating those of Rubisco catalytic sites, suggesting that, at least in Z. japonica, it could contribute to the drought-induced decrease in photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rubisco activity is associated with photosynthetic thermotolerance in a wild rice (Oryza meridionalis)
Andrew P. Scafaro,Wataru Yamori,A. Elizabete Carmo-Silva,Michael E. Salvucci,Susanne von Caemmerer,Brian J. Atwell +5 more
TL;DR: C3 photosynthesis modeling showed that both rice species had a similar temperature-dependent limitation to photosynthesis, and the activation state of rubisco in O. meridionalis was more stable at higher temperatures, explaining its greater heat tolerance compared with O. sativa.
