    摘要: Estimating that sd1 gene is a C20 oxidase gene, the rice counterpart of Arabidopsis C20 oxidase gene is isolated and identified. As a result, it is found out that rice sd1 gene is a gene encoded from a novel C20 oxidase gene. As the results of the subsequent studies, it is clarified that mutation in this gene induces plant semidwarfing. It is highly expected that use of plan sd1 gene would enable an increase in the yield of ornamental plants, addition of aesthetic value via dwarfing, an increase in the yield by marker selection and efficient breeding of dwarfed plants.

    摘要: Important aims in nearly all tree-breeding programs around the world are to produce plants with increased growth rates and stem volumes, and shorter rotation times. Such trees would yield more biomass per area unit. Here the present inventors have shown that when over-expressing a key regulatory gene in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula x P. tremuloides), improvements in valuable traits such as growth rate and biomass are obtained. In addition, these trees also have longer xylem fibers than unmodified wild type plants. Long fibres are very desirable in the production of strong paper, but it has not (as yet) proved possible to influence this trait by traditional breeding techniques. A further advantage of the present invention is that it may reduce or eliminate the use of growth influencing chemicals in forestry.

    摘要: The present invention provides nucleotide and peptide sequences of an isolated cDNA coding for sunflower farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, a key enzyme for the structurally diverse class of isoprenoid biosynthetic metabolites. The present invention also provides the recombinant plant expression vector comprising said nucleotide sequences and for the host cell into which said DNA sequence in the recombinant plant expression vector has been introduced to produce transgenic tobacco plants. Transgenic plants expressing heterologous farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase show 2-fold increase in seed production, higher chlorophyll contents in leaves and stronger drought-stress tolerance, as compared to non-transgenic or control vector-transformed tobacco plants.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT (Asparatate AminoTransferase) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding an ASPAT polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown ASPAT-encoding nucleic acids and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
    Furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing various plant yield-related traits by increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a MYB91 like transcription factor (MYB91) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding an MYB91 polypeptide, which plants have increased yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention additionally relates to nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid constructs, vectors and plants containing said nucleic acid sequences.
    Even furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving various plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a GASA (Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated Arabidopsis). The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a GASA, which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants or other control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention.
    Yet furthermore, the present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding an AUX/IAA (auxin/indoleacetic acid) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding IAA polypeptide, which plants have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides constructs comprising AUX/IAA-encoding nucleic acids, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
