Ryohei Thomas Nakano @LuckyStrike1984 gave a great talk on the molecular dialog between plant roots & microbes in our @IPMBSinica seminar. The use of synthetic microbial communities (SynCom) in such studies is interesting.

Rubisco limits plant CO₂ fixation.
Lu et al. engineered Arabidopsis with a synthetic McG cycle, turning a Rubisco by-product into acetyl-CoA.
Result: more lipids, seeds & biomass—a proof-of-concept to boost carbon fixation by creating a synthetic “C2” plant.
