Methods in Increasing Grain Value by Improving Grain Yield and Quality

摘要

The invention provides a transgenic plant, which expresses a transgene encoding a citrate synthase (CS) wherein the transgenic plant seed of the invention is characterized by increased yield and/or enhanced levels of protein, essential amino acids or oil, when compared to an isoline that does not express the transgene; and also provides methods of producing transgenic plants with economically relevant traits and provides expression vectors comprising polynucleotides encoding Citrate Synthase.
