Carbon metabolism in leaves of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) containing elevated fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels.
The aim of this work was to investigate the role of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6-P2) during photosynthesis. The level of Fru 2,6-P2 in tobacco plants was elevated by the introduction of a modified mammalian gene encoding 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (6-PF-2-K). Estimates of the metabolite control...
