Over-expressing the C<sub>3 </sub>photosynthesis cycle enzyme Sedoheptulose-1-7 Bisphosphatase improves photosynthetic carbon gain and yield under fully open air CO<sub>2 </sub>fumigation (FACE)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Biochemical models predict that photosynthesis in C<sub>3 </sub>plants is most frequently limited by the slower of two processes, the maximum capacity of the enzyme Rubisco to carboxylate RuBP (V<sub>c,max</sub&g...
