title: Moving On Up: H(+)-PPase Mediated Crop Improvement.
abstract: Upregulation of H(+)-PPase in diverse crop systems triggers agriculturally beneficial phenotypes including augmented stress tolerance, improved water and nutrient use efficiencies, and increased biomass and yield. We argue that further research is warranted to maximize the full potential of this simple and successful biotechnology.
