AI Summary

Rising temperatures and increasing drought are shortening crop‑growing seasons worldwide, prompting research into climate‑resilient agriculture. Scientists at Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology have advanced efforts to engineer more efficient photosynthesis by creating and testing roughly 15,000 genetically altered versions of bacterial Rubisco, the enzyme that converts carbon dioxide into growth material. The study, led by systems‑biology professor Paul Hudson, focused on bacterial Rubisco rather than plant forms and screened the variants for those that support bacterial growth.
