A case in point: scientists have found a way to make photosynthesis better and this should lead to more productive crops. We learned in school that plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to create ...

After being absorbed through the stomata, carbon dioxide attaches to Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic molecule that "kickstarts" a part of photosynthesis called the Calvin cycle.
