Computational modelling predicts substantial carbon assimilation gains for C3 plants with a single-celled C4 biochemical pump.
Achieving global food security for the estimated 9 billion people by 2050 is a major scientific challenge. Crop productivity is fundamentally restricted by the rate of fixation of atmospheric carbon. The dedicated enzyme, RubisCO, has a low turnover and poor specificity for CO2. This limitation of C...
