A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the introduction of cyanobacterial CO<sub>2</sub>-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant chloroplasts. Cyanobacterial CCMs enable relatively rapid CO<sub>2</sub> fixation by elevating intracellular inorganic carbon as bicarbonate, then concentrating it as CO<sub>2</sub> around the enzyme Rubisco in specialized protein micro-compartments called carboxysomes. To date, chloroplastic expression of carboxysomes has been ...[more]
