  • Expression of thermostable starch synthase genes improves the yield in heat stress
    Patent number: 10557144
    Abstract: Genetically-modified plants having increased tolerance to heat stress are described. Methods of producing such genetically-modified plants are also disclosed. The genetically-modified plants comprise exogenous nucleic acid encoding a thermostable protein having starch synthase activity. Genetically-modified plants have increased yield when grown under elevated conditions as compared to control plants.
    Type: Grant
