Introduction of Exogenous Glycolate Catabolic Pathway Can Strongly Enhances Photosynthesis and Biomass Yield of Cucumber Grown in a Low-CO2 Environment

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is very important for photosynthesis of green plants. CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is relatively stable, but it drops sharply after sunrise due to the tightness of the greenhouse and the absorption of CO2 by vegetable crops. Vegetables in greenhouses are chronically CO2 s...
