Optimization and Redesign of Carbon Metabolism

As one of the most fundamental metabolic processes in plants, carbon metabolism has an essential relationship with protein synthesis. With the increasing demand for high-yield and quality of crops in modern agriculture, the study of carbon metabolism has received increasing attention from researchers. Optimizing and redesigning carbon metabolism can provide a clearer understanding of plant carbon metabolism and how it couples other metabolic processes involved in coordinating crop production, helping to accelerate crop breeding research and improve crop yield and quality.

Lifeasible has many years of experience in agricultural synthetic biology services. We use synthetic biology techniques to modify the natural carbon metabolic pathways in plants, and by continuously optimizing plant carbon metabolic pathways and reconstructing new metabolic pathways in plants, we have significantly improved the CO₂ fixation capacity in plants and reduced CO₂ losses during plant respiration, effectively improving plant carbon efficiency. This service of ours largely improves plant productivity and provides an effective solution to the bottleneck of human social development.

Our various technical services support the optimization and redesign of carbon metabolism

• Optimization and redesign of plant carbon metabolism by artificial design using new synthetic pathways, such as our custom-engineered enzymes, or by computerized metabolic models, enables the optimal design of plant photosynthesis and effective integration of information from various metabolic pathways to achieve the optimal goal of improving photosynthetic efficiency.
• Designing novel CO₂ fixation pathways, we bypass the Rubisco catalytic step and shorten the respiratory pathway to optimize the carbon metabolic pathway.
• Efficient molecular cloning techniques enabled the cloning and identification of some genes in the plant carbon metabolic pathway. In addition, we use gene antisense expression technology to study the exact functions of genes encoding signaling molecules in the carbon metabolic pathway, and the optimization and design of plant carbon metabolic pathways will effectively promote the genetic improvement of plant quality and yield and provide the basis for cultivation regulation in plant physiology and molecular biology.
