Nitrogen-efficient rice over-expressing alanine aminotransferase

ABSTRACT: Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare was engineered to over-express a barley alanine aminotransferase (alaAT) gene using the promoter (OsANT1) from a rice aldehyde dehydrogenase gene that expresses in roots. We are using biotechnology to improve the nitrogen use efficiency of rice by over-expressing alaAT in a tissue specific (root) manner. The AlaAT enzyme is a reversible aminotransferase that is linked to both C and N metabolism since it uses pyruvate plus glutamate to produce alanine and 2-oxoglutarate, and visa versa.
