Estimating the term…
The present disclosure is directed to genetically modified plants, plant cells, or plant tissues wherein the genetic modification comprises expression of an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit-related (PRL-1) gene or homolog thereof, in the plant, plant cell, or plant tissue; and wherein the expression of the exogenous nucleic acid comprising the PRL-1 gene or homolog thereof results in enhanced photosynthetic efficiency and/or plant biomass of the plant, plant cell, or plant tissue as compared to a wild-type plant, plant cell or plant tissue without the genetic modification. Another aspect of the current disclosure is directed to methods of enhancing photosynthetic efficiency and biomass yield in a plant, plant cell, or plant tissue, the methods comprising expressing an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a PRL-1 gene or homolog thereof.
A genetically modified plant, plant cell, or plant tissue, wherein the genetic modification comprises expression of an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
A method of enhancing photosynthetic efficiency and biomass yield in a plant, plant cell, or plant tissue, the method comprising expressing an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
