Enhanced tolerance to drought in transgenic rice plants overexpressing C4 photosynthesis enzymes
Maize-specific pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) was overexpressed in rice independently or in combination with the maize C4-specific phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PCK). The wild-type (WT) cultivar Kitaake and transgenic plants were evaluated in independent field and tank experiments. Three...
