Over-expression of PaSOD in transgenic potato enhances photosynthetic performance under drought

Drought stress enhances the production of superoxide radical (O2 ._) and superoxide dismutase catalyses dismutation of it to H2O2 and O2, and hence provides a first line of defense against oxidative stress. Over-expression of a cytosolic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, cloned from Potentilla atros...
