Host Species | Strategies | Summary of Findings | References |
---|---|---|---|
C3 and C4 plants | Modification of in vitro assay method to measure the variability in carboxylase and decarboxylase activity of C3 and C4 leaf extract. | RuBisCO activation status is lower in mature C4 monocot leaves than in C3 monocots. | [19] |
Rice | Model analysis conducted on both pot and experiments under various nitrogen rates. | Improved carboxylation rate due to higher RuBisCO content in mutant plants. | [46] |
Tobacco | Expression of zeaxanthin and violaxanthin in the xanthophyll cycle coupled with an increased amount of the photosystem II subunit. | Greater than 15% increase in plant biomass. | [24] |
Potato | Overexpression of pyrophosphatase in mesophyll cells. | Enhanced source and sink capacity and a doubling in starch yield of tuber. | [47] |
Wheat | Overexpression of Brachypodium distachyon sedoheptulose-1,7-biphosphatase. | Increased leaf photosynthesis, biomass, and crop-yield potential. | [40] |

Arabidopsis | Independent or synergetic alteration of sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase), glycine decarboxylase H-protein (GDC-H) protein, and fructose 1,6-bisphophate aldolase (FBPA). | Enhanced carboxylation efficiency, vegetative biomass, and maximal seed-yield increase. | [36] |
Potato | Expression of polyprotein comprising three subunits of Escherichia coli glycolate dehydrogenase (GlcDH). | High carbohydrate levels synthesized in the source leaves were utilized by the sink organ, facilitating a 2.3-fold increase in tuber yield. | [48] |
