PS PhD Exit Seminar: Monocot Rubisco meets Dicot Chloroplast: A Structure-Function Relationship Study »
Explore the elimination of the folding/assembly incompatibility between the monocot crop (rice, wheat and maize) Rubisco and dicot model plant (tobacco) chloroplasts through a mutagenesis strategy which introduces certain amino acid substitutions into the large subunit of the monocot Rubisco.
