Researchers are sprinkling finely ground silicate-basalt over field trials at @Soyface_IL, hoping to increase the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere in a process known as rock weathering. Read more about the research here: bit.ly/3YHvIXE

RIPE scientists have introduced a specialized protein complex into chloroplasts of plants to deliver more CO2 to the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation during photosynthesis. Their work was published in @JXBot. Journal: bit.ly/3VF7vy4 News: bit.ly/3W4znx2

A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to alter photosynthesis in rice by changing its upstream DNA. This is the 1st approach to increase gene expression & downstream photosynthetic activity. See their work in @ScienceAdvances. DOI: bit.ly/4bAFsXA Story: bit.ly/4ca0sEf
