METHOD FOR MODIFYING PLANT BIOMASS

摘要

Recombinant polynucleotides and methods for modifying the phenotype of a pla nt are provided. In preferred embodiments, the phenotype modified is a plant's biomass. Modifying plant biomass leads to improved yields for leafy crops, f or example. The method comprises altering the levels of a transcription factor that is introduced into the plant or that is endogenous to the plant to obta in a plant with a larger biomass.
