  • Photoperiodic control of floret differentiation and yield in plants
    Publication number: 20070294789
    Abstract: A method for improving the yield of a plant is presented. The method uses genetic engineering techniques for transformation of plants to introduce expression cassettes for over- or under-expression of genes involved in photoperiodic control of floret differentiation and degradation. Such methods provide for increased yield at harvest when compared to wild-type plants.
