still theoretical in improving crop photosynthetic
efficiency and increasing yield via the modification of
RuBisCo. Therefore, further exploration of RuBisCo
natures and molecular characteristics are indispen-
sable to lay a solid foundation of enhancing crop
RuBisCo catalytic efficiency and increasing the
photosynthetic output, for instance, the diversity of
RuBisCo structures and functions among different
plants, environmental regulations and active
mechanisms, and the relationship of protein structures
and functions.
