Description
Abstract - This thesis aimed to resolve how cyanobacterial Rubisco interacts with its binding partners both in vivo and in vitro. Cyanobacterial Rubisco has been found to require different chaperonins and chaperones for optimal folding, however, in cyanobacteria the Rubisco enzyme must also interact with a cognate binding partner to produce the bacterial microcompartment known as the carboxysome. Work presented here examines and elucidates the interactions between cyanobacterial Rubisco and its cognate binding partners, to further our understanding of carboxysome biogenesis.

The Purple Tomato is a groundbreaking example of how biotechnology can translate scientific innovation into real-world impact. This talk traces the journey from fundamental plant science and the development of anthocyanin-rich tomatoes to regulatory approval (including Australia), commercialization, and consumer adoption.
For decades, photorespiration was regarded largely as a wasteful process that lowers photosynthetic efficiency. However, growing evidence points to an additional role in plant defence.
Water availability and quality strongly affect plant productivity, with drought and salinity disrupting water uptake and cellular homeostasis. Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that facilitate the movement of water and small solutes across cellular membranes. However, the contributions that AQPs make to water-stress responses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) remain poorly understood, leaving a knowledge gap that my research seeks to address.
