Photosynthetic resource use efficiency in plants expressing regulatory proteins

摘要

Polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into expression vectors are introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. These polypeptides may confer at least one regulatory activity and increased photosynthetic resource use efficiency, increased yield, greater vigor, greater biomass as compared to a control plant.

主权项

1. A method for increasing photosynthetic resource use efficiency of a crop, the method comprising:
(a) growing a transformed crop plant that comprises a recombinant polynucleotide under the regulatory control of a non-constitutive promoter, and the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 307;
wherein expression of the polypeptide in the transformed crop plant confers greater photosynthetic resource use efficiency to the transformed crop plant relative to a control plant that does not comprise the recombinant polynucleotide.
