Australian scientists have found a way to improve the production of essential enzymes for plant growth The findings will improve global food security and increase the production of major crops such as wheat, cotton and rice The study, published in the latest PNAs journal, shows that Rubisco and raf1 evolved together Spencer Whitney, head of research at the Australian National University, said that Rubisco has a very complex structure, including 16 fragments, which requires the assistance of more than 12 other proteins to correctly combine, and its utility is far lower than most other enzymes The researchers focused on one of Rubisco's chaperones, raf1 By inserting the modified complementary raf1 into Rubisco, the amount of Rubisco produced by leaves can be more than doubled Plant photosynthesis is faster and stronger (World agrochemical network)
