Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “Adding an extra GS gene to wheat altered the balance of GS1 and GS2 activity in flag leaves of plants (Habash et al., 2001), and in pot trials one such transformed line showed a fourfold increase in leaf GS1 activity and had more roots, more grain and higher grain N.”
Nitrogen Assimilation and its Relevance to Crop Improvement (2010, background): “For example, wheat lines transformed with the GS1 gene PvGln-α under the control of the Rubisco small subunit promoter had more GS1 and less GS2 enzyme activity in the flag leaves during grain filling (Habash et al., 2001).”
The role of glutamine synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase in nitrogen assimilation and possibilities for improvement in the nitrogen utilization of crops. (2002, unknown): “One line (line 3) had significantly more roots, more grain and the grain had a higher %N (Habash et al., 2001).”
Can less yield more? Is reducing nutrient input into the environment compatible with maintaining crop production? (2004, background): “Several studies have demonstrated a direct correlation between an enhanced GS activity in transgenic plants and biomass or yield [38,40, 41 ].”
