This study reduces Rubisco in wheat using RNAi to test if nitrogen use efficiency can improve without affecting biomass or yield, but finds no improvement in nitrogen use efficiency despite similar biomass in some lines.

The paper identifies short enhancer sequences in plant genomes that can increase gene expression, showing their potential for cisgenic promoter engineering.

This study tests overexpressing three chloroplast enzymes in tobacco to boost photosynthesis and biomass but finds no significant improvement under tested conditions.
