Engineering α-carboxysomes into plant chloroplasts to support autotrophic photosynthesis

Abstract The growth in world population, climate change, and resource scarcity necessitate a sustainable increase in crop productivity. Photosynthesis in major crops is limited by the inefficiency of the key CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco, owing to its low carboxylation rate and poor ability to discrimin...
