Optimization of water use efficiency in tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) by transposition of an LeNCED1 transgene
The 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid-dioxygenase (NCED) is a key regulatory enzyme in ABA biosynthesis in plants and its overexpression increases ABA levels that can increase water use efficiency (WUE). The use of the „super promoter‟ (sp) to drive an LeNCED1 transgene in tomato greatly improved WUE without af...
