Improving photosynthetic efficiency is a major target for increasing crop yield potential, as even small improvements in this fundamental process can lead to significant gains in productivity. Strategies to enhance photosynthesis through metabolic engineering are diverse and multifaceted. One primary approach focuses on optimizing Rubisco kinetics and regeneration. Rubisco, the key enzyme in carbon fixation, is notoriously inefficient due to its oxygenase activity and slow catalytic rate. Researchers have explored various strategies to improve Rubisco performance, including engineering its catalytic subunits, optimizing its assembly, and enhancing its activation state . Recent work has also focused on improving the regeneration of RuBP, the substrate for Rubisco, by manipulating enzymes in the Calvin-Benson cycle.
