Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method for stimulating the growth of the plants and/or improving the biomass production and/or increasing the carbon fixation by the plant comprising introducing into a rice plant cell, rice plant tissue or rice plant one or more nucleic acids, wherein the introduction of the nucleic acid(s) results inside the chloroplast of a de novo expression of one or more polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of a glycolate dehydrogenase.
A method for increasing biomass production and/or seed production and/or carbon fixation in rice plants comprising introducing into the genome of a rice plant cell one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of a glycolate dehydrogenase, wherein the introduction of said one or more nucleic acid sequences results in a de novo expression of one or more polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of a glycolate dehydrogenase and wherein said one or more polypeptides are localized in chloroplasts of the plant produced.
A transgenic rice plant comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of a glycolate dehydrogenase, wherein said one or more polypeptides are localized in the chloroplasts of said rice plant.
