Research Highlights
Enhanced plant growth through promotion of stomatal opening
Abstract:
Promotion of stomatal opening through overexpression of genes in guard cells was found to increase photosynthesis and growth in transgenic Arabidopsis plants by approximately 15% and 1.4~1.6 times, respectively.
