Question:
In an effort to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis in crop plants, researchers have genetically engineered tobacco plants (a model organism) to express cyanobacterial RuBP carboxylase, which has lower oxygenase activity. However, tobacco plant growth was not enhanced unless the plants were also engineered to express the cyanobacterial genes for bicarbonate transporters. Explain this observation.
