Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Transgenic overexpression of a NtEGY2 gene restores normal green color of burley tobacco plants, but does not increase nitrogen utilization efficiency beyond that exhibited by wild-type individuals. Nitrogen physiology is important in tobacco because of its role in generation of leaf yield and accumulation of nitrogen-containing alkaloids that can react with nitrosating agents in the formation of...
