Deskripsi
Previous efforts to assemble Rubisco within a cyanobacterial carboxysome-derived protein shell in plant chloroplasts to concentrate CO2 have been unsuccessful. Here, Long et al. produce carboxysomes in tobacco chloroplasts that encapsulate the introduced Rubisco and enable autotrophic growth at elevated CO2.
