Abstract
In C4 plants, the C4 photosynthetic pathway acts as a “CO2 pump” and confers a number of advantages, including enhanced photosynthetic capacity, high growth rate, and high nutrient and water use efficiencies. Several attempts have been made to transfer these features to C3 plants using recombinant DNA techniques (1–4). However, the activities of C4 photosynthetic enzymes in transgenic C3 plants were much lower than those of C4 plants, and no significant impact on photosynthetic characteristics was observed.
