  Engineering plant primary metabolism is currently recognized as a major approach to gain improved productivity. Most of the current efforts in plant metabolic engineering focused on either individual enzymes or a few enzymes in a particular pathway without fully consider the potential interactions between metabolisms. More and more evidences suggested that engineering a particular pathway without consideration of the interacting pathways only generated limited success. Therefore, a long term goal of metabolic engineering is being able to engineer metabolism with consideration of the effects of external or internal perturbation on the whole plant primary metabolism. In this paper, we developed a constraint-based model of C3 Plant Primary Metabolism (C3PMM), which is generic for C3 plants .. Read More»
