GRF3 MUTANTS METHODS AND PLANTS

摘要

The present disclosure provides a novel modified gene rGRF3 or an orthologue thereof which is shown to be decoupled from control by miR396 particularly in the presence of over expression of at least one GIF gene such as GIF1 AtGIF 2 AtGIF 3 Os11g40100 Os12g31350 Os03g52320 or combinations thereof. When present in a plant the rGRF3 results in a phenotype of increased productivity (e.g. increased yield increased biomass increased stress resistance increased seed production increased seed yield increased root growth increased root elongation speed delayed leaf senescence or increased drought tolerance and combinations thereof).
