Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to genetically altered plants with enhanced biomass including genetic alterations that stimulate RubP regeneration and electron transport. In particular, the present disclosure relates to genetically altered plants with enhanced biomass through overexpression of CB proteins (e.g., FBPase/SBPase or SBPase), and overexpression of photosynthetic electron transport proteins (e.g., cytochrome c6 and Rieske FeS).
Claims20
A genetically altered plant, plant part, or plant cell, wherein the plant, part thereof or cell comprises one or more RuBP regeneration enhancing genetic alterations that increase activity of a Calvin Benson cycle (CB) protein and one or more photosynthetic electron transport enhancing genetic alterations as compared to the unaltered plant, plant part, or plant cell grown under the same conditions.
