摘要:
The compositions and methods disclosed relate to DNA compositions, plant cells, seeds, plant parts that relate to maize plants with increased grain yield trait. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DP-202216-6 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

The present invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology, more particularly to the regulation of genes that increase drought tolerance and yield. Provided herein are methods finding use in agriculture for increasing drought tolerance in dicot and monocot plants. Methods comprising introducing into a plant cell a polynucleotide that encodes a maize XERICO polypeptide operably linked to a promoter that drives expression in a plant are provided. Methods are further provided for maintaining or increasing yield in plants under drought conditions by introducing into a plant cell a polynucleotide encoding a maize XERICO poly-peptide and a polynucleotide encoding an abscisic acid (ABA)-associated polypeptide. Also provided are transformed plants, plant tissues, plant cells, and seeds thereof.
摘要:
Compositions and methods reduce the expression of endogenous ACC oxidase genes to improve an agronomic characteristic of a crop plant, which may be maize. Yield increase and drought tolerance due to reduction in the endogenous ACC oxidase levels are observed. ACC oxidase genes are identified in maize, rice, and Arabidopsis genomes.
