Improving photosynthesis to then massively increase agricultural development is one of the holy grails of plant biology.
Therefore, understanding the influence of the enzyme Rubisco is key, but difficult due to the massive chloroplast regulatory systems involved.
Now, Australian researchers have inserted working Rubisco copies into E. coli to better analyze how it functions.
