PLANTS HAVING IMPROVED GROWTH PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a genetically modified plant with improved growth properties as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant, said method comprising reducing or deleting the amount or activity of an EBI1 or EBI2 polypeptide in a plant cell, a plant or a part thereof.

主权项

1. A method for producing a genetically modified plant with improved growth properties as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant, said method comprising:
a) reducing or deleting the amount or activity of an EBI1 or EBI2 polypeptide in a plant cell, a plant or a part thereof to produce a modified plant cell, plant or a part thereof; b) generating, from the modified plant cell, plant or part thereof in step a) a genetically modified plant; c) identifying a genetically modified plant from step b) with improved growth properties as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant; and d) growing said genetically modified plant under conditions which permit the development of the genetically modified plant.
