Engineering cyanobacterial genes into Glycine max (soybean) leads to increased photosynthesis and productivity
… transformed with the two cyanobacterial genes, ictB and FBP1, and first examined under controlled greenhouse conditions and then over two years of field trials in current and future [CO2] (585-590 μmol mol-1) to determine the potential of improving an already highly productive C3 crop species. …

An investigation into the chloroplast transformation of wheat, and the use of a cyanobacterial CCM gene for improving photosynthesis in a C3 plant
… expressing the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 ictB gene were generated. Previous studies suggest that ictB may be an inorganic carbon transporter. In a number of transplastomic lines produced in this study, the intercellular carbon concentration (Ci) is significantly increased. This increased …

Assessing the effects of genetic modifications on photosynthetic capacity in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Glycine max (soybean)
… has multiple predictions. 1) Expressing the ictB gene increases rates of rubisco-limited photosynthesis and RuBP regeneration-limited photosynthesis. 2) Expressing the SBFB gene will show significantly increased RuBP regeneration-limited photosynthesis. No comparisons made between wild type …

Manipulating Guard Cell Anatomy and Physiology Using Biotechnological Approaches to Understanding Impact on Crop Performance
… the cyanobacteria inorganic carbon transporter (ictB), which have already been shown to have high photosynthetic rates and plant growth for multiple genes cloning of EPF1, EPF2, EPFL9 and Fd. Preliminary work on gene expression, chlorophyll fluorescence, stomata density and gas-exchange analysis …

Enhancing photosynthetic capacity and energy conversion in wheat
… The possible effect of the insertion of the ictB gene, related to carbon concentration in the chloroplast in cyanobacteria and to improved yields in plants, was studied in genetically modified wheat plants. No improvement was observed for photosynthetic traits or yield in the transgenic …
