Barley Plants Overexpressing <i>Ferrochelatases</i> (<i>HvFC1</i> and <i>HvFC2</i>) Show Improved Photosynthetic Rates and Have Reduced Photo-Oxidative Damage under Drought Stress than Non-Transgenic Controls

Barley Plants Overexpressing <i>Ferrochelatases</i> (<i>HvFC1</i> and <i>HvFC2</i>) Show Improved Photosynthetic Rates and Have Reduced Photo-Oxidative Damage under Drought Stress than Non-Transgenic Controls

We investigated the roles of two <i>Ferrochelatases (FC</i>s), which encode the terminal enzyme for heme biosynthesis, in drought and oxidative stress tolerance in model cereal plant barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i>). Three independent transgenic lines ectopically overexpressin...
