Effects of introduction of sorghum RbcS with rice RbcS knockdown by RNAi on photosynthetic activity and dry weight in rice

Rubisco is the key enzyme responsible for photosynthetic CO2 fixation. Previously, we succeeded to increase the catalytic rate (kcat) of Rubisco by the overexpression of sorghum C4-type Rubisco small subunit (RbcS) in rice. These Rubisco are present as a chimera of sorghum RbcS and rice RbcS. In thi...
