Abstract excerpt

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) is believed to play a significant role in supporting nitrogen fixation via anaplerotic CO2 fixation for recycling carbon in nodules. Using the antisense technique, we decreased the expression levels of the nodule-enhanced PEPC gene (Ljpepc1) in a determinate legume plant (Lotus japonicus) in order to look at the influence of the symbiotic phenotype and...
