Plants' photosynthetic pathway type and rates of Rubisco dark inhibition may be linked

In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds to light.

In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds to light. In a new meta-analysis study, a team from the Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) project at Lancaster University have identified a potential link between photosynthetic pathway type and rates of dark inhibition. The findings are published in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
