GAIN4CROPS aims to enhance agricultural productivity by minimizing inefficiencies in photorespiration in plants. The project explores engineering strategies to improve carbon fixation in crops through innovative metabolic pathways and carbon pumps, ultimately boosting crop yields.
Photorespiration – recycling Rubisco’s oxygenation production, 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG), back to the Calvin Cycle – is an ineluctable process in today’s plants, which dissipates energy and releases CO2.
Photorespiration reduces CO2 assimilation efficiency, and thus biomass yield, by ~30% and represents a prime target for improving agricultural productivity, as was demonstrated in several recent studies.
Yet, the engineering of alternative photorespiration routes to date is restricted to pathways…
