The 28 F1 hybrids along with their parents were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. In the present study, significant and highest general combining ability effect for fruit yield and average […]
Abstract Photosynthetic prokaryotes and eukaryotes, namely phytoplankton, chromophytes and cyanobacteria use the Calvin – Benson – Bassham (CBB) pathway to metabolize CO2 [1]. The key enzyme of the CBB pathway is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo). RuBisCo-based CO2 fixation occurs in all cyanobacteria through C3 intermediates. The RuBisCo plays a pivotal role in linking the inorganic (CO2) […]
