Cytosolic glutamine synthetase: a target for improvement of crop nitrogen use efficiency?

Trends in plant science - 1 Oct 2014

Thomsen Hanne C, Eriksson Dennis, Møller Inge S, Schjoerring Jan K

Abstract excerpt

Overexpression of the cytosolic enzyme glutamine synthetase 1 (GS1) has been investigated in numerous cases with the goal of improving crop nitrogen use efficiency. However, the outcome has generally been inconsistent. Here, we review possible reasons underlying the lack of success and conclude that GS1 activity may be downregulated via a chain of processes elicited by metabolic imbalances and environmental...
