A groundbreaking study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration, a metabolic process that can reduce ...

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 ...

The researchers aimed to boost especially the performance of the key enzyme of the TaCo pathway, glycolyl-CoA carboxylase (GCC), the catalyst that makes photorespiration carbon positive.

New research has uncovered genetic modifications, altering the photorespiration pathway, that could improve crop yields by 40%.

Most crops on earth don’t photosynthesize efficiently; they use a wasteful cellular pathway called photorespiration, dramatically impacting their potential yield. Now, scientists at the University of ...

South, along with colleagues from the University of Illinois, have now found a way to reduce this "glitch" by creating a new pathway through which photorespiration can happen.

A new chemical road map for a process called photorespiration in plant cells could reduce energy waste to increase plant productivity.

A new study suggests that photorespiration wastes little energy and instead enhances nitrate assimilation, the process that converts nitrate absorbed from the soil into protein.

Suppressing conventional photorespiration in Arabidopsis thaliana increases biomass. Figure 1: A simplified, nonstoichiometric representation of the normal photorespiratory pathway of C 3 plants ...
