Improved growth performance, food efficiency, and lysine availability in growing rats fed with lysine-biofortified rice

Abstract Rice is an excellent source of protein, and has an adequate balance of amino acids with the exception of the essential amino acid lysine. By using a combined enhancement of lysine synthesis and suppression of its catabolism, we had produced two transgenic rice lines HFL1 and HFL2 (High Free...
