Altering Tetrapyrrole Biosynthesis by Overexpressing <i>Ferrochelatases</i> (<i>Fc1</i> and <i>Fc2</i>) Improves Photosynthetic Efficiency in Transgenic Barley
Ferrochelatase (FC) is the terminal enzyme of heme biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms studied so far, there is evidence for two FC isoforms, which are encoded by two genes (<i>FC1</i> and <i>FC2</i>). Previous studies suggest that these two genes are required for the p...
