Photosynthetic Characteristics of Antisense Transgenic Rice Expressing Reduced Levels of Rubisco Activase

The activation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), which catalyses CO2 fixation in photosynthesis, requires the assistance of the regulatory protein Rubisco activase. Rubisco activase promotes carbamylation of Rubisco by releasing inhibitory sugar phosphates bound to the ca...
