Photosystem II Subunit S overexpression increases the efficiency of water use in a field-grown crop

Photosystem II Subunit S overexpression increases the efficiency of water use in a field-grown crop

Availability of irrigation water will be an increasing barrier to global crop yield increases. Here the authors show transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing Photosystem II Subunit S have less stomatal opening in response to light and a 25% reduction in water loss per CO2 assimilated under replicate...
