About

Professor Spencer Whitney is a faculty member at the Australian National University. His research primarily focuses on plant productivity, particularly through the study of Rubisco and its evolutionary adaptations. Recent articles highlight his work on enhancing Rubisco solubility and catalytic efficiency, as well as investigating the temperature response kinetics among various plant species. His insights contribute significantly to the fields of plant physiology and crop improvement.
