iticum aestivum. Each type was studied to find superior Rubisco enzymes responsible for improving photosynthesis.

Of superior Rubisco enzymes identified, two of the most efficient are Rubisco from plants known as Aegilops cylindrica (jointed goatgrass) and Hordeum vulgare (barley).

The variants possess Rubisco catalytic properties that are capable of improving photosynthesis leading to an increased grain yield.

LEC researcher Dr Elizabete Carmo-Silva said: Both jointed grass and barley are re
