Woody plants having improved growth characteristics and method for making the same using transcription factors

摘要

601188 Disclosed is a method of producing a tree having n increased growth and/or biomass compared to its wild type, comprising increasing in the tree the level of a gene product of at least one gene comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of a) nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO 3; and b) a nucleotide sequence being at least 70% identical to nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO 3. Further disclosed is transgenic tree comprising a recombinant polynucleotide (DNA construct) comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 3; b) a complementary nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence of a); c) a nucleic acid sequence being at least 70% identical to any one of the sequences in a) or b); d) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleotide sequence of a) or b); and wherein the recombinant DNA construct further comprises a constitutive, inducible, or tissue specific promoter operably linked to said nucleotide sequence. The abovementioned nucleotide sequence encodes the peptide of the following sequence: MEIKESERVVIAKPVASRPSYSNFTSFSELLAGAINTTPSNVCSGTAVAAIRPKTVRFRPLVNRAPGALVSSQAGLSGTAVSNSFNKASSTDSKATIIYKPQAKLVSKATVSLLANMGNFNTNSQQMLQPVETRPQLSKQDKHNFSSQLTSNPHQNIPSPAEADHTTEPLRLTSLNQEEDPKTLSHASNGDRPSYDGYNWRKYGQKQVKGSEYPRSYYKCTYPNCPVKKKVERSFDGQIAEIVYKGEHNHSKPQPPKRNSSGTQGLSDGNAPDRNSIPLWSNQLNERNEGSEGREENQNEIGLPVHSIYQGKAPPSYDPAGTGTINAGTGTSDNSCGVSGECDDGSKGLEGANDEPKSKRRKTEIQSTEGGMSGEGVQEPRVVVQSSTDSEILGDGFRWRKYGQKIVKGNPYPRSYYRCTSIKCNVRKHVERVSDDPRAFITTYEGKHNHEIPLKSTNLAAFEPDSQAPTTRVKQ.
