The present invention relates to a method for enhancement of
photosynthesis and biomass of a plant by plastid transformation with MDH
gene, more precisely a method for enhancement of photosynthesis and
biomass of C3 plant by plastid transformation system with MDH gene. The
MDH plastid transgenic plant prepared by the method of the present
invention exhibits not only increased photosynthesis efficiency but also
increased growth rate, leaf area, stem diameter and biomass of the plant,
compared with the control plant. Therefore, the plastid transformed C3
plant prepared by C4 type gene introduction can be effectively used for
enhancing photosynthesis and biomass of the plant.
