A unique Rubisco subunit from the hornwort plant carries a built-in extension that enables the enzyme to cluster into carbon-concentrating structures like algae, according to a new Science study—an innovation that successfully triggered similar condensates when introduced into Arabidopsis plants. The findings reveal a novel and evolutionarily independent solution for Rubisco condensation in land plants and open the door for engineering similar systems in agricultural crops to potentially boost nutrient efficiency and yield. 📄: scim.ag/3OQDBr4 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4udcg2k
