Composition containing gene encoding ABC transporter proteins for increasing size of plant seed and content of fat stored within seed

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for increasing the size of a plant seed and the content of fat store within the seed, and more specifically to a composition containing a gene encoding ABC transporter proteins for increasing the size of a plant seed and the content of fat store within the seed, and a method for increasing the size of a plant seed and the content of fat store within the seed comprising a step of introducing said gene and a promoter for overexpressing said gene to a plant.

主权项

1. A method for increasing plant seeds in size and storing fat content, comprising introducing a polynucleotide encoding a plant ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 that is operably linked to a promoter for overexpressing the protein in a plant.
