Combined Expression of SBPase and Glycolate Dehydrogenase in Wheat

[0076]Using conventional recombinant gene techniques, a recombinant gene encoding glycolate dehydrogenase under control of a rice Rubisco small subunit promoter was constructed by operably linking the following DNA regions:[0077]a. A DNA region having a sequence including the promoter region of the ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase small subunit gene of Oryza sativa (rice) (Nomura et al., 2000) (SEQ ID No 10 between nucleotides 75-2824)[0078]b. A DNA region coding for the first intron of the Actin 1 gene of Oryza sativa (rice) (Mc Elroy et al., 1990). (SEQ ID No 10 between nucleotides 2825-3293)[0079]c. A DNA region encoding the optimized transit peptide, containing sequence of the RuBisCO small subunit genes of Zea mays (corn) and Helianthus annuus (sunflower) (Lebrun et al., 1996), adapted to wheat codon usage (SEQ ID No 10 between nucleotides 3294-3665)[0080]d. A DNA region encoding the mature part of the glycolate ...

Abstract

Plants are provided with increased ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration capacity during the Calvin cycle through increased expression of sedoheptulose 1,7 bisphosphatase, in combination with reduced photo-respiratory losses through expression of glycolate catabolizing enzymes. Such plants have a greater growth rate and / or improved biomass and / or increased carbon fixation compared to untreated plants, or plants comprising only one of the features above.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The inventions herein described relate to the agricultural field, more specifically to methods of improving photosynthesis in plants, including crop plants as well as plants obtained by such methods. Specifically, the invention relates to plants with increased ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration capacity during the Calvin cycle through increased expression of seduheptulose 1,7 biosphosphatase, in combination with reduced photo-respiratory losses through expression of glycolate catabolizing enzymes. Such plants have a greater growth rate and / or improved biomass and / or increased carbon fixation compared to untreated plants, or plants comprising only one of the characteristics above described.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Crop productivity is influenced by many factors, among which are, on the one hand factors influencing the capacity of the plant to produce biomass (photosynthesis, nutrient and water uptake), and on the other hand factors influencing the ca...
