Effektivare fotosyntes för att fånga in koldioxid
De här forskarna pratar om att fånga in koldioxid med hjälp av förändrade växter:
"In a recently completed research, American scientists have discovered a more efficient variant of the key enzyme involved in CO2 sequestration by plants during photosynthesis, the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). The main aim of the study was to direct the evolution of RuBisCO variants with improved kinetic and biophysical properties that could enable plants to use and convert CO2 more efficiently. "
