Transcriptional Regulation for Improved Plant Productivity

摘要

Methods comprising DNA constructs and polynucleotides of functional transcription factors for improving photosynthetic capacity, biomass and/or grain yield and stress tolerance in various crop and model plants, dicots and monocots with the C3 or C4 photosynthetic pathways are described herein.

主权项

1. A genetically modified plant, or a portion of a plant, or a plant material, or a plant seed, or a plant cell having increased expression of one or more polynucleotides encoding any one transcription factor of the family of transcription factors AP2/ERF, or an ortholog, a homolog, or a functional fragment thereof, or any one transcription factor of the family of transcription factors NF-YB, or an ortholog, a homolog, or a functional fragment thereof,
wherein the increased expression of the one or more polynucleotides increases carbon flow in the transgenic plant, portion of a plant, plant material, plant seed, or plant cell.
