Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “The replacement of non-functioning silent C4 genes of rice with functioning equivalents from maize resulted in high expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in the transformed plants and a decrease in oxygenation by a third (Ku et al., 2000; Matsuoka et al., 2000).”
Carbon and nitrogen assimilation in relation to yield: mechanisms are the key to understanding production systems. (2002, background): “In the case of genetic modification, much greater input of expertise and financial support, and further technological developments are probably required, despite some evidence of success (Ku et al., 2000) for current technology is relatively untried (Matsuoka et al.”
The role of rainfed agriculture in the future of global food production (2002, background): “47 maize gene into the hybrid rice (Ku et al. 2000).”
Strategies for producing more rice with less water. (2009, background): “Development of rice varieties through conventional breeding, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and employing biotechnological tools for water-limited conditions are the areas of current research (Atlin and Lafitte, 2002; Babu et al., 2003; Cattivelli et al., 2008; Ku et al., 2000).”
Can Yields of Lowland Rice Resume the Increases that They Showed in the 1980s? (2005, background): “Attempts are being made to introduce C4 photosynthesis genes into rice (Ku et al., 2000), however it is unclear when and to what extent such transgenic rice will contribute for the increase in rice yield potential.”
