Abstract excerpt
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) from Synechococcus vulcanus (SvPEPC) is a unique enzyme, being almost insensitive to feedback inhibition at neutral pH. In order to assess its usefulness in metabolic engineering of plants, SvPEPC was expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. About one-third of the transformants of the T1 generation...
