Preprint updated! Here we show that rubisco is not stuck! But is instead continually evolving for improved catalytic efficiency and CO2 assimilation in plants. A masterpiece from @JBouvierPlants

Rubisco is the primary entry point for carbon into the biosphere. However, rubisco is widely regarded as inefficient leading many to question whether the enzyme can adapt to become a better catalyst....

#Plantbreeding request: at @PhotoBoost3 we're speaking to potato and rice growers about improving photosynthesis. Do you know anyone working with grower associations in #Bangladesh or #India? If so, get in touch. Thanks! #sustainability #foodsecurity #photosynthesis

Huge congrats to PhD student @JBouvierPlants for having the strength and resilience to see this through. 👉 Rubisco kinetic evolution is not strongly limited by catalytic trade-off. Other factors are more important. https://t.co/h1snM6nLzg

Avoiding a 6th global mass extinction will require producing a larger quantity of food than has ever been produced in human history, on much less land than we are using today. The DREB1C discovery might just help us get there… https://t.co/VQxOoyNjLj

The second chapter of my PhD is in pre-print (check it out)!🌿☀️ https://t.co/SbT8wud8f8 We show that rubisco is not perfect, and is continually being optimized for increased efficiency in nature... 📈 However, improvements are limited by its slow rate of sequence evolution!🐌
biorxiv.org
Rubisco assimilates CO2 to form the sugars that fuel life on Earth. Although rubisco is the source of most carbon in the biosphere, it is a surprisingly inefficient catalyst with a modest carboxylase...
Why is rubisco poorly adapted to current environment conditions? TL;DR 👉 it is one of the slowest evolving enzymes on Earth! *And* It is adapting, but in slow motion! https://t.co/klO9yYrKpZ
