Widespread positive selection in the photosynthetic Rubisco enzyme
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <b>Background:</b> Rubisco enzyme catalyzes the first step in net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and photorespiratory carbon oxidation and is responsible for almost all carbon fixation on Earth. The large subunit of Rubisco is encoded by...
