Plants can reshape a key protein to survive heat and cold, helping photosynthesis continue as temperatures swing.

Researchers from Cornell, Texas A&M, and Stockholm University have discovered that plants can swap small subunits of the Rubisco enzyme to adapt photosynthesis efficiency to changing temperatures.

Humans adjust to changes in temperature by putting on a sweater or taking off layers. Plants adjust to temperature changes, in part, by switching the way they express the protein that performs the ...
