Abstract excerpt
Flavodiiron protein (FLV) mediates photoreduction of O2 to H2O. It is conserved from cyanobacteria to gymnosperms but not in angiosperms. The introduction of a moss (Physcomitrella patens) FLV (PpFLV) gene into Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) made photosystem I (PSI) resistant to fluctuating light. Here, we used the same strategy with three rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes. PpFLV in the wild-type rice background...
