摘要：
The invention provides methods for increasing the rate of CO2 assimilation in photosynthetic cells and plants. The invention involves reducing or preventing lipid recycling, and/or expressing modified oleosins with artificially introduced cysteine residues in the photosynthetic cells and plants. The invention also provides methods for increasing oil production in plants, via expression of modified oleosins with artificially introduced cysteine residues in the non-photosynthetic tissues/organs of plants. The method also optionally includes the step of extracting the oil from the non-photosynthetic tissues/organs of the plant, or processing the oil rich non-photosynthetic tissues/organs into animal or biofuel feedstocks.
