  • Method of increasing yield in a plant and genes useful therefor
    Patent number: 7423203
    Abstract: A method of changing the activity of hexokinases in a plant sink comprising introducing into the plant a gene encoding a fungal hexokinase. In the method, the gene is expressed in the plant seed tissue to produce the protein, thereby changing characteristics of hexokinase activity in the seed of the plant.
