Carbon-fixing alternative pathways showed the most promise, offering up to 20% more carbon export compared to conventional photorespiration; The TaCo pathway, developed in another project called ...

New research has uncovered genetic modifications, altering the photorespiration pathway, that could improve crop yields by 40%. New research conducted at the University of Illinois (IL, USA) and led ...

Using genetic engineering, researchers have now designed a more direct chemical pathway for photorespiration that is confined to a single cell compartment — the cellular equivalent of a Maine-to ...

They will also start creating new pathway designs for crops like cowpea, soybean, rice, and tomato. South said it will probably take about 10 years before these crops make it to dinner plates ...

"The TaCo pathway is not only a promising alternative for photorespiration," says Group Leader Tobias Erb. "We could also show that it can be interfaced with other synthetic CO 2 fixation cycles ...

These genes encode two key enzymes for photorespiration, which can be found at different points along this metabolic pathway. The plants were exposed to different light conditions: fluctuating ...

Photorespiration does not protect against fluctuating light ... has now investigated whether a specific metabolic pathway in photosynthesis that competes with carbon fixation has a protective ...

Carbon-fixing alternative pathways showed the most promise, offering up to 20% more carbon export compared to conventional photorespiration; The TaCo pathway, developed in another EU-funded ...
