Laboratory evolution of Rubisco solubility and catalytic switches to enhance plant productivity - Nature Plants

This study demonstrates the power of directed evolution to unlock latent functional potential in plant Rubisco. By identifying mutations that enhance CO2 fixation and solubility, it advances avenues for improving crop photosynthesis and productivity.

Nature
This #review examines how advances in #plant #genomics and #SynBio have accelerated research on plant prenyltransferases in natural product synthesis, positioning them as a focal point for prenylated natural product-based #drug development.
