  • Publication number: 20230183731
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a transgenic plant comprising one or more nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides selected from photosystem II subunit S (PsbS), zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP), and violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE), operably linked to at least one expression control sequence. Expression vectors for making transgenic plants, and methods for increasing biomass production and/or carbon fixation and/or growth in a plant comprising increasing expression of at least one of PsbS, ZEP and VDE polypeptides are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 18, 2022
    Publication date: June 15, 2023
    Inventors: Stephen P. Long, Johannes Kromdijk, Katarzyna Glowacka, Krishna K. Niyogi, Laurie Beth Leonelli, Stephane T. Gabilly

  • Publication number: 20200283788
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of cultivating genetically altered plants with increased activity of the PsbS protein. These genetically altered plants have increased water use efficiency and substantially similar photosynthetic efficiency as compared to WT plants grown under the same conditions.
