ABSTRACT:
This invention provides novel gene constructs which enhance the efficiency of plant cells and cells of other photosynthetic organisms. Also provided are transgenic plants and seeds which overexpress proteins. Methods to elevate the amount of plastid proteins in plants and photosynthetic organisms are exemplified.
