Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast glutathione reductase (GR) plays an important role in protecting photosynthesis against oxidative stress. We used transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with severely decreased GR activities by using a gene encoding tobacco chloroplast GR for the RNAi construct to investigate the possible mechanisms of chloroplast GR in protecting photosynthesis against chilling stress. Transgenic plants were...
