摘要
Lysine is considered an 'essential amino acid' required at sufficient levels to prevent malnutrition and serious diseases, particularly in developing countries. It is mostly obtained from various plant foods. In the current issue (pages 4285-4296) Yang and colleagues report on successful stimulation of lysine biosynthesis and suppression of its catabolism in transgenic rice plants without changing the plant phenotype. This approach led to the production of high-lysine rice plants, rendering them as nutritionally favourable crops. © The Author 2016.
