Abstract
In this project, we aim to unravel the contribution and regulation of two lysine catabolism pathways, the saccharopine (SacPath) and lysine dehydrogenase (LYSDH) pathways, in plant stress responses. LYSDH genes from extremophilic bacteria, which were previously shown to be stress-inducible, will be used to assemble constructs for overexpression in maize. Transgenic maize plants overexpres…
