Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, methodology): “Using the example of research on alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT), a successful transgenic approach to increase NUE in oil seed rape (Good et al. 2007), in rice (Shrawat et al. 2008) and currently tested in wheat, the authors concluded that enzymes and proteins other than those involved in primary…”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “In studies in both oilseed rape (Brassica napus) and rice (Oryza sativa) significant gains in NUE have been reported (Good et al., 2007; Shrawat et al., 2008); whilst the mechanism is unclear, the improved NUE may be the result of local relief of negative feedback on uptake.”
Nitrogen Assimilation and its Relevance to Crop Improvement (2010, background): “Good et al. (2007) transformed canola (Brassica napus) with an alanine dehydrogenase cDNA under the control of a root-specific promoter.”
Plant nitrogen assimilation and use efficiency. (2012, background): “Expression of a barley AlaAT (alanine aminotransferase) gene in rice, driven by a rice tissue-specific promoter (OsAnt1), significantly increased NUpE, biomass, and grain yield at high N supplies (145), whereas its overexpression driven by a root-specific promoter (btg26) in Brassica napus increased”
