Hornwort Protein Could Improve Photosynthesis Efficiency in Crops Researchers have discovered a unique molecular feature in hornwort plants that could help increase crop efficiency. The small protein component, named RbcS-STAR, modifies the key photosynthesis enzyme Rubisco, causing it to cluster into dense structures within plant cells. Rubisco is essential for capturing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis but is naturally slow and prone to interacting with oxygen, which reduces plant growth efficiency. By forming these concentrated compartments, Rubisco operates more efficiently. Experiments showed that introducing RbcS-STAR into other plants, including Arabidopsis, triggered the same clustering effect, suggesting the protein could function across multiple plant species. This discovery offers a potential path to engineering crops like wheat and rice to improve photosynthesis and increase yields. While the clustering mechanism shows promise, researchers caution that plants must also efficiently deliver carbon dioxide to Rubisco for full effectiveness. Future work will focus on integrating this carbon delivery system, potentially enabling more sustainable agricultural production with higher yields and reduced environmental impact.

Experts have warned that the world’s ability to feed itself is under threat from the “chaos” of extreme weather caused by climate change.
Early warning signs have arrived as crop yield rates flatline.

10/12 The report claims crops will flourish with extra CO2. But climate scientist Bob Kopp recently showed how rising temperatures and drought will worsen crop yields.

"CO2 fertilisation is largely irrelevant to how extreme heat and drought will impact crops."
