e0“Constitutive expression of a synthetic epidermal patterning factor (EPF) transgenic allele in sorghum led to reduced stomatal densities, reduced gs, reduced plant water use, and avoidance of stress during a period of water deprivation.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Constitutive synthetic EPF expression reduced stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Constitutive synthetic EPF expression reduced plant water use.
- Intervention effect Constitutive synthetic EPF expression helped avoid stress during water deprivation.
- Association Moderately reduced stomatal density did not increase stomatal limitation to photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect The transgenic changes had negative effects on reproductive development.
- Intervention effect The transgenic changes had negative effects on photosynthetic capacity.
- Recommendation Tissue-specific transgene expression could improve agronomic outcomes by avoiding pleiotropy.
