Deficiency of mitochondrial fumarase activity in tomato plants impairs photosynthesis via an effect on stomatal function.

Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants expressing a fragment of a fumarate hydratase (fumarase) gene in the antisense orientation and exhibiting considerable reductions in the mitochondrial activity of this enzyme show impaired photosynthesis. The rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle was re...
