An international team including researchers from Cornell University, the Boyce Thompson Institute, the University of Edinburgh, and others has uncovered how hornwort plants use a modified protein, RbcS-STAR, to cluster the key photosynthetic enzyme Rubisco into pyrenoid-like compartments. This mechanism boosts carbon capture and could enhance crop yields by up to 60 percent while reducing needs for water and fertilizers.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have found that mitochondria in plant cells can draw oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a new interaction that affects photosynthesis and stress responses. This discovery, published in Plant Physiology, explains how plants manage internal oxygen levels. The study used genetically modified Arabidopsis thaliana plants to observe these processes.
