The biosynthesis of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine (GlyBet) is a target for metabolic engineering to enhance stress resistance in crops. Certain plants synthesize GlyBet in chloroplasts via a twostep oxidation of choline (Cho). In previous work, a chloroplastic GlyBet synthesis pathway was inser
