Abstract
Morphology and photosynthetic enzyme activity of maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase transgenic rice
Author(s): W.C.Li, J. Wang, Y.L. Sun, S.D. Ji, S.W. GuoThe morphology and photosynthetic enzyme activity were studied in maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase transgenic rice and non-transgenic rice. The results showed that compared with non-transgenic rice, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase transgenic rice was taller and had a stronger stalk, wider leaves, and more exuberant root system, with increased photosynthetic enzyme activity and improved yield components. Therefore, given the superiority of this plant type and heterosis, this is a novel breeding strategy for rice for the introduction of C4 photosynthesis genes into high-yielding rice.
