TRANSFORMING A C3 PLANT WITH C4 PHOTOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY USINGPHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYKINASE

摘要

A method for transforming C3 plants which comprises introducing a number of enzymes contributing to the C4 photosynthetic cycle into the C3 plants to thereby impart the C4 cycle thereto. In this method, a gene encoding PEPC and a gene encoding PCK ligated to a gene encoding a transit peptide are introduced into the C3 plants.
