Overexpression of an <i>Agave</i> Phospho<i>enol</i>pyruvate Carboxylase Improves Plant Growth and Stress Tolerance

It has been challenging to simultaneously improve photosynthesis and stress tolerance in plants. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a CO<sub>2</sub>-concentrating mechanism that facilitates plant adaptation to water-limited environments. We hypothesized that the ectopic expression of...
