Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
1.1.1.44 agriculture when temperature-stable forms of of the enzyme (PGD1 and PGD2) are expressed in maize endosperm plastids, this increases enzyme activity and mitigates the reduction in grain yield that occurred in control plants exposed to elevated temperatures at night. This genetic improvement could be included as part of integrated approaches to mitigate yield losses due to climate change Zea mays
