NADH-GOGAT Overexpression Does Not Improve Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Performance Even When Pyramiding with NAD-IDH, GDH and GS

Maize plants overexpressing NADH-GOGAT were produced in order to determine if boosting 2-Oxoglurate production used as a carbon skeleton for the biosynthesis of amino acids will improve plant biomass and kernel production. The NADH-GOGAT enzyme recycles glutamate and incorporates carbon skeletons in...
