This week, in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team from Louisiana State University (LSU) and the University of York report a long-time unexplained step in the CCM of green algae--which is key to develop a functional CCM in food crops to boost productivity. The researchers discovered a missing link in the photosynthetic process of green algae called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that could be used to boost crop productivity.
