Research output: Patent

Abstract

Presented herein are plants with altered photorespiratory characteristics. Disruption of transport proteins involved in shuttling glycolate and/or glycerate results in reductions in photosynthetic rates, reduced plant growth and alterations in gene expression and photosynthetic metabolite profiles. Such disruptions are also combined with introduced genes expressing components of alternate photorespiratory enzyme pathways to increase photosynthetic efficiency.
