...are involved in non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) (the dissipation of excess excitation energy as heat)(116); (2) altering the CO2 response of stomata or the density of stomata on the leaf surface to increase the efficiency of water use(120,122,123); (3) increasing the capacity for mesophyll conductance of CO2 (105); (4) improving the energy efficiency of carbon metabolism by altering mitochondrial enzymes(155); (5) optimizing investment in light collection(105);...

...The mode of action of Bt toxins (and the resistance mechanisms to Bt in insects) are of huge commercial value, given that millions of hectares have been planted with transgenic Bt crops such as maize and cotton (Tabashnik et al., 2013)....
