A Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) cDNA from mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia L.) was introduced into rice (Oryza sativa L.) genome by the biolistic method. Expression of this P5CS transgene under the control of a stress-inducible promoter led to stress-induced overproduction of the P5CS enzyme and proline accumulation in transgenic rice plants. Second-generation (R1) transgenic rice plants showed an increase in biomass under salt-stress and water-stress conditions as compared to the non-transformed control plants.
