Life in the Abyss: Arctic Scientists Detect Photosynthesis in Near Complete Darkness

Research in the Arctic Sea has found that deep-sea ice algae and phytoplankton can perform photosynthesis using only a few photons of light

Regulation of Rubisco activity by interaction with chloroplast metabolites

Rubisco activity is highly regulated and frequently limits carbon assimilation in crop plants. In the chloroplast, various metabolites can inhibit or modulate Rubisco activity by binding to its...
