a: RuBisCo ~
b: high-performance car
What:
"Imagine that RuBisCo is like a high-performance car that can go 100 mph when you give it high-octane gasoline (petrol). But now, only low-octane gas is available, so the car can only go 50 mph max.
By steadily increasing the CO2 available to green plants, we are enabling RuBisCo to "fix" CO2 into sugars at a faster and faster rate, resulting in improved photosynthetic productivity of the plants. "
