Application

Application	Comment	Organism
agriculture	when temperature-stable forms of of the enzyme (PGD1 and PGD2) are expressed in maize endosperm plastids, this increases enzyme activity and mitigates the reduction in grain yield that occurred in control plants exposed to elevated temperatures at night. This genetic improvement could be included as part of integrated approaches to mitigate yield losses due to climate change	Zea mays

additional information	-	cytosolic isoenzymes PGD1 and PGD2 have heat-stable activity, while amyloplast-localized isoenzyme PGD3 activity is labile under heat stress conditions	Zea mays

General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
physiological function	isoenzyme PGD3 is critical for endosperm starch accumulation. The cytosolic isozymes, PGD1 and PGD2, are not required for kernel development	Zea mays
