Enhancing crop yield by using Rubisco activase to improve photosynthesis under elevated temperatures

Abstract With the rapid growth of world population, it is essential to increase agricultural productivity feed growing population. Over past decades, many methods have been used crop yields. Despite success in boosting yield through these methods, global food production still needs be increased on par with increasing population and its dynamic consumption patterns. Additionally, given prevailing environmental conditions pertaining temperature increase, heat stress will likely a critical factor that negatively affects plant biomass yield. One key elements hindering photosynthesis under thermo-sensitivity Rubisco activase (RCA), molecular chaperone converts back active form after becomes inactive. It would an attractive practical strategy maintain photosynthetic activity elevated temperatures by enhancing thermo-stability RCA. In this context, review discusses need improve thermo-tolerance RCA current climatic further study structure regulation, limitations at temperatures. This summarizes successful results provides perspective research implication improving future.
