... and energy wasteful photorespiration pathway. Rubisco carboxylation capacity can be enhanced by engineering the Rubisco large and/or small subunit genes to improve its catalytic traits, or by engineering the mechanisms that provide enhanced Rubisco expression, activation and/or elevated [CO 2 ] around...

...Stefan Timm Photorespiration is an inevitable trait of all oxygenic phototrophs, being the only known metabolic route that converts the inhibitory side-product of Rubisco's oxygenase activity 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG) back into the Calvin–Benson (CB) cycle's intermediate 3-phosphoglycerate (3PGA...

... 3 plants is caused in part by the substantial energetic investments necessary to maintain a high flux through the photorespiratory pathway. Accordingly, lowering the energetic costs of photorespiration to enhance the productivity of C 3 crops has been a goal of synthetic plant biology for decades...

... elsewhere in the cell and supports the light-associated processes, which include photosynthesis and photorespiration [ 48 , 49 ]. Net photosynthesis depends on the ratio between photorespiration and gross photosynthesis, thereby linking mitochondrial function and photosynthetic efficiency. Many experiments...

... Biochemical Society 2010 myosin β-oxidation peroxin photorespiration protein import receptor The development of in vivo imaging techniques has led to a growing appreciation that organelles are extremely dynamic, often pleomorphic, and motile structures (see Supplementary Movie S1 at http...

...Hermann Bauwe Photorespiration is the light-dependent release of CO 2 initiated by Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) during oxygenic photosynthesis. It occurs during the biochemical reactions of the photorespiratory C 2 cycle, which is an ancillary metabolic process...
