Wheat Transformation with <i>ScTPS1-TPS2</i> Bifunctional Enzyme for Trehalose Biosynthesis Protects Photosynthesis during Drought Stress

Wheat cultivation makes an important contribution to human nutrition. Trehalose synthesis plays a role in the tolerance to drought stress. A bifunctional TPS-TPP enzyme gene from yeast was used to obtain transgenic wheat plants to increase trehalose synthesis. Mature wheat embryos were transformed u...
